Part 4/8:
Reflecting on Property and Utility Maintenance
Beyond animal care, the owner discusses ongoing property maintenance, especially focusing on the electrical system. He explains how erosion has exposed part of his electrical line near a tree, necessitating repairs or rerouting. Plans for improvements include possibly adding a new power pole and increasing the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, especially if he expands his workshop or adds new structures.
He notes that he has a good-sized electrical panel in the house but limited circuits, so upgrading could provide the flexibility needed for future projects. These technical considerations highlight the proactive approach required to keep a rural property functional amid seasonal challenges.
