All good info, spoke to the neighbors on a neighbor hood blog, waiting to hear back from a couple with their carrier's signal strength. Really like the idea of the relay on the ridge and will talk to the guy living up there. Might be win win for both of us.

Right now I'm looking at any possibilities. Hughes net might be my fastest choice at 25mpbs but only gives me 50 gigs. I don't need much but my kids do.

Great info guys, Illl check out the Cel-Fi systems since I would only require a singal carrier and would use a directional antenna. I did hear back from FastNet (WISP) and because a large hill ridge behind my lot they are unable to provide internet for me :( I'll keep looking for a solution...

1 1/2" conduit going in tomorrow morning, once again great call! I went out there this afternoon right after my last post to make sure the guys could do it, they said "no problem". They had a generator and shop vacuum out there.... to pull a bag with a line through!

Once again all great info, I should be paying consulting fees! Wilson amps was what I was looking at since I don't even get a good cell signal where the house id being built, seems much better the higher I go, so assumed a directional antenna on the roof could really help. Was looking at...

1.5" it is thanks again Ard. Still trying to look into internet options. Might just keep my ATT 4G LTE and shoot it out to the rest of the house. I reached out to them and for only $20 bucks more a month and a 2 yr contract on this...

I'm going with your ideas and will put in a conduit for future use. What size do you recommend? Can I use the gray electric PVC? And should I run a pull line in it before hand? I assume yes to both but want to make sure-

All great ideas! Thanks!

Ard, this sounds interesting, specially since everything will eventually go wireless. Any links that would be useful for me to look into?

Nice! I'll look into that.... anyone else know what this tube might be called?

I'm burying my electrical service from a pole on my road to a ground transformer near my garage that will then feed to a meter on my home. I will than bury a line to a separate panel in the garage. My question is, while I have this trench dug (it will include both my water line and electrical)...

Great ideas, I forgot about the electric. Thanks guys!

Thanks guys, since the water would be in the first floor of the entire garage it would be tough to heat the whole area. Best would to use heat tape and plug it in when I needed it. But with 8 acres, and no nearby neighbors I don't mind digging it up if I have to service it. I think I'm going...

Yeah! I like it! Brilliant!

I'm building a garage just like my old one but 7' longer and I'm putting the doors on the side. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123785 My question is that I will be running a 3" septic line and a 3/4" water line to the foundation before its being poured. Just in case I want...
