Finally got our carriage house started a few weeks ago. Dried in, hvac and electric rough in are done, insulation done. Should be working on drywall and siding this week. Came home from the store and the well contractor has the drill and compressor in the yard. Electric coop set xfmr and meter last week. Septic and propane should be last week or two of June if things go well. Hopefully 4 or 5 weeks from moving in. A year in the fifth wheel isn’t bad, but hard to call it comfortable when a comfortable bed and better environmental controls are so near. Just need a fiber provider to put some cable in nearby and it will be about right.
Starlink works for us out in the boonies.
 
watched a guy a couple years ago on a power line near my shop,
kept hearing a helicopter , as in not flying past, and caught a glimpse thru the trees, so I shut the shop and drove down the road to the powerline,

helicopter had a guy suspended, via a tether, who would drop down to the tower and take something from one bucket, do something to the line, and put whatever he replaced in the other bucket,

pilot would get the signal and take him up and to the next pylon,,

amazing thing to see
Those guys make BANK!
