Temporary Power Pole Installation / Adding Power to Raw Land for Shed to House Conversion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2021
- For the next steps in our shed to home conversion to take place, we need power! We found a temporary power pole on Facebook marketplace for $100 and our friend was able to add plug-ins and a camper outlet! This was our first experience pulling permits with the county for work we would be doing and failing our first permit seems about right. This thing will sure be an adventure but we are learning so much along the way! Thanks for joining us! If you read this, hit that subscribe button and help this little channel grow :)
Thank God for a little bit of help I'm trying to do something up on my farm and try to get a little bit of knowledge. Best of luck for your future projects
Thank you for showing what it takes to actually get the she set up to become your new home. Loving the way you show the steps making it a home. Can’t wait to see more.... love your channel!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!

Living the dream!! Love it. One thing to remember, termite protection. Your shed to home is all wood, which is like a big huge steak to termites. It is worth the extra cost to have termite service and an annual inspection, to keep your beautiful home for many years to come!
Yes! Thank you 😊 we have termite protection on our current home and will be getting it on the shed to home as well. Better safe than sorry!
Amen
Can’t wait to see the inside of your shed to home. I will be following you two. Happy building!! 🥰🥰
Thank you! We will do a tour soon of the inside!
Yay..this was exciting to see..this is the step we are on...just got our meterbase installed today
Awesome! Congratulations! Thanks for watching
you kids are smart. Keep it simple and be frugal and win at happiness
Love watching your adventure & watching you two work together to achieve your goals.
♥️♥️ thank you!
I love your channel. ❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for posting! Good tips
just found you guys this morning. I'm all caught up and following along. looking forward to the build. we are strongly leaning towards a shed to house ourselves. cant wait to see what yall do.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊
@@CountryRootsFarm your welcome. I'm really excited for you guys. watching how excited you guys got resonates with me because I know how I feel everytime we go to our land. I'm looking forward to watching your journey
@@StruggleandStrive I hope we can help bring some clarity on if you think a shed to home would be right for y’all!
❤️ There is just something about being in nature that is so peaceful and relaxing. Wishing you the best of luck in your endeavors!
Awesome 👏 power 👍
Woohoo. Looking great!
Thank you!
Install 1⁄3 roll of blocks in the middle 4" by 4" 4 by 4I only spend for thing If you don't want to floor to bounce Add more blocks Hurricane straps Or only win stripes And I don't work I installed them yours made a lot of money It's a fall sensor security Like the lock on your front door Good luck have fun On your adventure Make sure you skirt at for the wind can get Under it By the way you didn't install the straps right
We plan to add more straps and supports before adding more weight to the build but this was the amount needed to be permitted. Thanks!
Yeah! Power. Civilization At last!
😆 getting closer!
How much did it cost for the transformer
Watch Cog Hill your going through what they are going to be going through.
Is it cold in your area or are these videos filmed a while ago? Awesome work on your dream.
It was a few months ago 😊 I had how to learn how to edit to put the videos together so now I’m sharing as I’m making the videos!
Thats awesome didn't cost anything to get power
Right! I love it when a plan comes together 😆
How much did it cost to run the power?
$100 for the used power pole from Facebook marketplace and about $50 for the breaker and camper plug-in. Having the power company come out and hook it up didn’t cost anything!
Why is it a temporary power pole? Can't you run the power to your house from there?
In our area your build has to be complete for a permanent pole to be approved by the power company so this is a quick way for us to have power now and we will switch it once we can be approved by the county. Lots of red tape but cheaper than solar for the time being!
👍👍👍👍👍 👊😎
You had to have a house building permit pass before you can get a temporary power pole? The only reason the county installed a new pole and transformer at no cost to you was because you were building a house and the county would recoup costs from future taxes? I'm in Florida and there is a pole 200' away from my lot, but I'm not looking to build yet, just need power to do some work on the lot, some irrigation, some fencing, etc.
We didn’t have to have a building permit to get the power pole approved. We told the county we need power for a well, irrigation, and tools. Also, we researched power companies in our area before buying land to find out what the cost of obtaining power would be. For our local power company, it is privately owned and does not work with the county. They don’t get any kickback from county taxes. It was at no cost to us to add a transformer and pole to our land because the power line already ran through the property.
I would start by calling your power company to find out what’s available to you and then see what your county requires for a permitted power pole.
@@CountryRootsFarm Thanks for the info! - seems exactly like what I'm trying to do. I'm also outside city limits so managed by the county. I've been camping and doing some off grid activities. I did call the Power company (also private) a few days who told me they had to inform the county to do "an inspection" in about 3 business days. Not clear what they meant by that but they did say some kind of building/construction permit would be required to get power. Seems here they discourage power poles on vacant lots and anybody trying to power just an RV or Shed on vacant lot. One argument I want to make for needing the pole to charge an EV van I'm looking to buy next year, especially so so few charge stations out there. Knowing how things work in Florida, I bet my good intentions will be rewarded with some kind of violation fine.
Is pine wood good for windows?
you can use a jackhammer to put ground rod in faster and better
Hopefully we won’t have to do this again for a while because we don’t have a jackhammer… 😆 maybe next time!
lol its ok i had to hand drivde mine 10 feet into ground....then i found out how to use a jackhammer to make it faster...again lol
@@CountryRootsFarm sorry but 1 thing i learned about my homestead it if you can get one get a small farm tracker with a box blade.....this well be the best thing you can buy....best of luck
@@kentuckyhomesteading2209 yes!! A small tractor is so handy! We bought a yanmar 221 and have had MANY people tell us it’s not a tractor…crazy to me because I move trees, bush hog, seed, and scrap our driveway with it so I’m pretty sure it’s a tractor 😆 lol
well that is good....i have 19 horse power farm tracker and yes i move trees as well....dont care what other say make it work just for your need...stay cool friends
Why not solar a few more 🔌 you can rent to other campers for extra income
Maybe one day we will add solar! The investment in solar is much more up front so we couldn’t beat spending only $100 to get power and get things started! We do hope to add at least some solar in the future, it’s just not a financial priority yet.
I'm disappointed that you didn't choose solar power.
We only spent $100 to get power.
It wouldn’t be financially responsible of us, at this stage, to invest in solar. We do plan to add solar power in the future, especially for the well
@@CountryRootsFarm I can understand that.
What state are you building in?
South Carolina, Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
@@CountryRootsFarm Happy 4th of July!! I really like this idea shed to house, I have been looking for a house in NH and the prices are CRAZY. Now this I could do.
@@sherryw661 housing prices are crazy! We want to be debt free and not tied to our mortgage so after weighing all the options, a shed to house conversion can provide us with a debt free home!
How much was the shed?
If it was new, it would have been about $22,000 before lumber went crazy. Since we bought it as a repo with things that needed to be fixed, we got it for $10,000!
OKLAHOMA?
We’re in South Carolina 😊
