  how is the barn going Cutter?

I read on one of the electrical boards that it is against code to pull wire through conduit one section at a time. The suggested reasoning was that if you had to pull the original wire through the completed conduit, then you could also pull through replacement wires if necessary.

I would suggest putting some of the "WARNING" red or yellow plastic tape (I think it commonly comes as 3" wide but is available in different widths and messages) several inches above the conduit as you refill the trench. That way someone digging another trench across yours will hopefully snag the warning tape and realize that something is amiss before they dig through your power line.

Another relevant code requirement is that if you add up all the bends in your conduit, there cannot be more than 360 degrees between pull points. And the access covers to the conduit system must remain accessible.

Almost all areas are covered by the NEC, although not all reference the same year. Some areas do add additional requirements, however. A handy website that covers some of the high points of the NEC is http://www.codecheck.com

I should have mentioned in my post directly above that when you get to the CodeCheck website, scroll down the menu on the left side of the screen to find the electrical (or plumbing, or mechanical) area. If you don't do that, it just looks like a site to sell you their hard cover book - which, by the way, is pretty handy to have around...
