You figure it's reasonable to assume that a guy could rent a mini excavator, teach himself how to run it and then dig a 150' long, 2' deep trench through a compacted gravel pad in 8 hours?
How deep they usually bury natural gas service lines?
I'd line to get power out to my chicken coop and workshed this winter.

gonna be more than 8 hours
Not a chance.
But, honestly just power out to the chicken coop, I don't think you need all that. A straight spade for trenching something like cable lines should do it fine. Get some flooded (self sealing) wire and trench it, it will be about 6 inches deep but unless you're digging in that area you should be good. Just remember where it is or mark the path it takes it with stones.
Yes but you should call your local utilities and ask them to mark the lines before you dig. In my area we have a phone number to call before digging. You mark where you are working. The various utilities companies will come out and mark their lines.
You can do it! We gonna do what they say can't be done........ I'd say eight hours, but the kinda that are extra long. Like 8, 90 min. hours. Like long summer hours
