Fiber to the House

The bottom black box is the fiber drop to the house.


Close up of the tap.  Note it appears to be made by Corning.


Drop safe inside of cover.

Drop goes into buried conduit.  In anticipation of buried services, we layed 
conduit for power, phone, and Internet.  Layed with pull string of course,
utility folks were well pleased with the easy with which they were able
to install their respective services.

Power and Internet on the way to house...
