Building a Cabin in the woods (Ep.1)
What happens here
Temporary power is essential for all contractors to operate their tools and equipment. The local power company connected temporary power from existing lines to the property, leading to a permanent power pole that will eventually feed the cabin. On this pole, a temporary power post was installed by an electrician (Noah from Red Dog Electric) with two 20-amp and one 30-amp outlets. This setup allows for powering saws, drills, and even an RV or trailer for on-site camping. The cost for this power setup alone is approximately $4,500 in Idaho, highlighting a significant 'hidden cost' of building.
Goal: A temporary power pole is installed by a local electrician to provide power for construction equipment, tapping into existing power lines and featuring 20-amp and 30-amp outlets.
