Quote from: Flyin6 on August 27, 2021, 03:48:13 PMSo...Something odd came upMy neighbor who is building that road through his place to mine offered to trade his farm in another county even up for mineI'd be giving up my 91.27 acres for his 121 acres...even us. He has a solid tobacco barn, fields like mine, electric power, a cistern, and he said I could have the double wide mobile home to. It is far from new and I'd likely just get rid of it.Interesting...something to think about.First question… what’s wrong with his other farm? ;). You’ve poured so much blood, sweat, tears, sunglasses, cameras, chainsaws, brush hogs and tractors into this place.Makes sense for him to have two properties side by side.

One thing that sold me on my prop too, no big power lines. I see those all the time and its nasty. Sure it has to go somewhere, but not my place either.
Great news on the power Don. I’d do a 400 amp service. My little place is adding up fast already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Had some good news today.I had filed an application for power to be connected to the barn.I spoke with the building supervisor, who drove down there for a visit and a site survey. The first 250 feet is free and the rest if $15 per foot and on me. There was some 400+ feet from the pole to my barn.Today they told me they were willing to use a second pole, the one sticking right in the dam around my pond as a base. From there they will run wire to a new pole set near the barn and then connect to the barn...AND ALL FOR FREE!
So that’s really the point I was making. The wires to your meter box need to be rated for 400, even if you only install a 200 amp meter to begin with. Changing the size of the drop later is expensive Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Have a conversation with a sparky, let them know all potential future plans. Go 400 amp……I agree 200 amp isn’t much. However, my home has a 400 amp meter box with 200 amp meter in it. I then have two 200 amp panels but both only have 100 amp mains in them currently. This runs a 5300 sq ft house with two kitchens, in mild weather Colorado. Similar to the Tuck I would think, when we finish off basement (2000 sq ft) we will be swapping to a 400 amp meter and one of the 100 amp panels will be swapped for a 200 amp. You’re going to run a couple barns and a future house, well pumps and water fountains in the pond for aeration. It really shouldn’t be a question, then add in boon docking rv hookups for visitors…..
Love you brother but I’m afraid you are being penny wise and pound foolish. Carry on and I’ll STFU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have 120,000 lumens on 1 zone with plenty left over. If you run 20 amp circuits you can get a lot of leds on one circuit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sounds like a bolt 6.0 gas motor next to a duraburb again. I know the answer do you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Don a 20 amp circuit will accommodate 2400 watts of power, so look at the fixtures you want and determine the wattage and add it up.Watts is powerV is voltageI is amperageP=V*ISent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So, 1920W.
Shawn took your advice. Just dropped some coin on some hyperlightshttps://hi-hyperlite.com/Followed their recommendations for a 30X50 space of 6X150 watt lights, 21,000lm ea for the space, and since I plan to wall off the saw mill part about 9 feet, I picked up two 100 watt lights for that sectionAlso picked up some of their 100w and 70w exterior floodlights for near the big doors. I'll buy something pretty for the French door entrance which is getting a brush-finished pad, a couple of my annarondeck chairs and a few shrubs

Hong Kong company...Where do they ship from?Any issues getting them? Any warranty claims? Any failures?
Track replacement is really neat, at least it’s warm out to help it stretch. Some fun YouTube videos to watch for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
