Re: How have you paid for your shop?

This isn't a fun process.

I finally got the electric company to meet me in person to flag out my relocation. I paid the $960 fee and they should be out next week. (My power line runs down middle of proposed foundation location)

This was after almost begging to get an electrical contractor to come out for 3 weeks to verify my existing panel, if I could tap off of it, or needed a new panel. I showed him everything I'm going to run in the garage and he said my current panel has plenty of capacity (this is actually a large "long run" savings, Duke charges a usage fee for every meter, my home meter is currently $12/mo, I've been told a 2nd meter has a standard fee of $45/mo whether you use any power or not.) Even if it's only the $12/mo again, that's $144/yr just in meter fees, and recently they tried to raise it to $28/mo and thankfully were shot down by the SC energy commission.

I discovered my cable (telephone/internet) is only 4-6" deep I was able to uncover a 10' section in 20 minutes. I'll relocate that one myself once power moves theirs. All my other utilities are on the other side of the driveway.

All my applications/permits are in. I got comments back and resubmitted.

Grading/foundation scheduled to start 2nd/3rd week of July, weather dependent.

I'll be happy once the foundation is done, then the rest is on me and my schedule.
