If you get really stuck, you can attach a piece of fine cord to a bundle of wool (like the pom-pom on a kid's bonnet) and suck it through the conduit with a vacuum cleaner...

I thought about trying that but as there were already four other wires in the conduit I am pretty sure that you couldn't get a good enough "seal" to move it the distance I had to go.

Well done

I used the "string" to pull the #6 ground wire through today and all went well. I pulled another length of string with it as well so I can leave it there "just in case". Highly doubt I'll ever need it but one never knows.

I'm done pulling wire. Now the search is on to find a power panel.

Thanks guys,
