Scooter,
Since we are getting to know each other better I am not sure if I should call you by your real name Terence Denvir........ or do you prefer Terry. You can call me John or Sparky, I will answer to either.

I am not sure where you have been in the last 10 years but Burlington Hydro does not use meter readers anymore. You see the new meters that the previous Wynne Gov't pushed through communicate automatically via RF or cell rendering the 'meter readers' obsolete. The only utility that still require a meter read now is water, and I cannot believe they have not figured something out by now.

I can definitely help you on the hydro poles - one of the guys in our group has a bucket truck but they are not cheap. We wired a trailer park in Southhampton 2 years ago - ran 12 poles and added electricity to 30 trailer sites.
Depending on the ground conditions you are looking at anywhere between $1,500 and $2,000 per pole supply & install. HydroOne only services the first 30M so there will be an isolation switch located here and the run to your cabin is on your dime - cable, pole, pole hardware, and transformer (which will be located on the pole closest to the service entrance into the cabin). All in you are looking at anywhere around $60,000

To be honest I would look at a solar option - $20k - $30k depending on your capacity requirement as Hydro rates up north are heading up as they are removing the seasonal rates on many cottages and most people will see a 30% rate increase. As PV systems become more popular it is driving the cost down and efficiency up (Swanson's Law - Google it I did not make it up). You will not re-coup the cost of installing electricity in a hunt camp or even a lakeside cottage when it is time to sell it unless you can share the cost with a neighbour.

Well I have to run - PM me if you have any other questions (seriously) I have a couple of conference calls I need to prepare for and I am golfing at 1PM........nothing like punching a clock buddy!

Thanks John,

I already know the hydro hook up costs and have decided that it would not be worth it unless I wanted to develop that land and split it into lots.The solar option I have ruled out as I do not know anyone who has set up a system to run a stove and power all appliances,the battery storage is another problem.

I believe just getting hydro supplied to the cabin is about $50.00 a month without even using any power.So for about $260.00 in propane and about $100.00 in gas I can run a genny and keep the camp for about 7 months.

My closest neighbour has hydro so unless I sell lots I would not have a person to share the cost with.

Interesting you have decided to give out personal identifiers not that I mind,but then your fake news about me being a mall cop is blown up on the first photograph that pops up on the net.Silly lad.LOL

It's good to know that the Captains of Industry are out there on the gold course and folks wonder where our GDP has gone.LOL

Back in the good ol' days when policemen actually looked like policemen.

Yup..had to replace a pole to put in a 100 amp service $2350.....then with buried cable from pole, to a panel with proper CSA/Inspector approved Switch and CCT Boxes etc...total job cost me $8,200.

Definitely would look into alternative pwr sources if I was to do it again.

Haven't you always said you were Scottish....how did a Denvir ( an Irish name) end up being Scottish ??

At least you keep the traditional Irish immigrant career and became a Beat Cop.....

Very sharp Terry......very nice pic!

I was golfing but not to worry, I was definitely not burning it up, I will not be quitting my day job any time soon.
