Yes, and yes. Just need to rent a trencher.

Thanks for the tip on Elliot's. About the same price/ft. as wireandcableyourway.com, but without the $130 shipping charge.

Great. Thanks. I am planning to be in that area tomorrow (West Fort Worth) and will stop by and see what they can do.

Thank You

Perfect. Thanks.

The meter feeds a 200A outdoor rated feedthrough panel that is also on the pole.

meter is on the pole

The new connection will not be going through the existing structure. It will be 3 wire from the pole to the cabin. New ground rod at the cabin. I am only planning to do this once, which is why it will either be 3/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum. I have already made up my mind about this. What I am...

I was really just planning on: 2 mini split A/C units Stove/Oven microwave TV/Stereo Small Water Heater Misc. (Lights, etc) Maybe Cabin is the wrong term. At some point, this will probably be our permanent residence.

Getting ready to connect the main electrical to a cabin that was just built that is next to an existing structure that already has power. Originally, when the barn was built, running that line was part of the deal with the builder. What I didn't do was make sure that the line he was planning...

Thanks for the response. I figured there had to be a filter in there somewhere. We are planning for a system on an occasional use building. I probably need to stick with a more basic system since we shut the power down when we aren't there and the water wouldn't be moving.

Which is why even though I grew up near you (in Saginaw), I now live in Texas. I'm guessing the hay bales are just to keep the cool breeze out from under the RV? That boiler is certainly a handy item to have. Much cheaper to run than the propane and natural gas heaters I used to use...

Did you design the rainwater system yourself, or get plans from somewhere? I have been doing some research on such systems, but from the pictures you posted I am curious about a couple of things. Do you have anything in place to keep leaves/debris from entering the downspouts? Does this...

That last picture is puzzling. Are you heating the RV with wood?

I have experience working for a manufacturer of steel castings used for ground engaging tools, and I recently spent some time at the facility of a leading hand tool manufacturer. I can say that the steel that ends up in a casting, or a casting that will later be smashed into a forging is not off...

I have a Leatherman Squirt PS4 that is in my pocket almost all the time. Very handy for the size. Most used tool is the pliers followed by the scissors and file. I normally have a larger knife with me as well, so the small blade in the Leatherman doesn't get much use, but it is really sharp...

Yes, the building should be skinned this week and doors etc installed next week. Followed by running the electrical line from the pole to the building, adding the septic and spray foam insulation. What I should have mentioned is that is all being done by the builder, whereas the interior will...

It will be a while before we get to that point. Right now the framing is almost done.

Thanks for the info. I will certainly give that app a look. Based on this info I may keep the space at 14'
