Container Home ELECTRICITY! I Build an Electrical Meter Box Pedestal | TOTC Ep. 15 

Quite the build! Took all day but we got it done in ONE SHOT! In the next episode, I'll be building a well pump house to house the filtration/pump system for the well!

I’ve never watched a series with so much anticipation, you have to make a full documentary from this

Dude....I do the same thing. I'm a Carpenter/Contractor and I excessively plan and create construction drawings and sometimes 3d models. Let me tell you, I have been able to fit stuff in tight spaces, modify errors/designs that would have only been picked up in the real world and so much more. You were very smart for doing it how you did. Also, by thoroughly researching your materials, and labor, you know, for the most part, what can and can't be done, and that can prevent you from getting ripped off, understand what contractors are talking about and know whether or not you got the proper job. There are a lot of "pros" out there that talk a good talk but don't possess the knowledge and information of a true professional. I'm not saying a DIYer is going to be as knowledgeable as a true professional, but a lot of guys have worked their trade and rely on the processes they have done for years, or what they have been taught, and don't change with the times or bother to learn how to do things differently. I'm in the process of researching and planning an H-Panel myself and I ended up on your video. Keep doing your thing man and good luck!

Happy to see you making progress. Keep up the great work!

Thought: assemble the "H" of the pedestal , set in the hole, level, then lock in place with the concreter pour,

Looking great keep it up. You have inspired me to build my own house and buy some land to homestead. Thank you

I was JUST thinking about you. Happy to see the progress!

Been waiting for these! Keep em coming!

Great video. I'm excited to see your progress!

Amazing job. It was so much fun to watch this. I can't wait to do this too :)

Nice man. I see you are doing really good! Also.. thise poles are really level. They are in level, really level if you get what i'm saying ;)

You made it work! But, if you had mounted the box to the other side of the struts using clips, you would have had full flexibility on where to mount it without drilling holes and fighting the struts. That is how most pros do it.

I know this is 3 years old, but I don't see the House Bill comments about the 30 amp 2-pole breaker. With the RV 30-amp being 120 volt, you only needed the one pole. 2-pole will work if you only use one side. What did you do to resolve this issue?

Is there a material list?

Hey Christopher. I just wanted to thank you for sharing all of your journey. I’ve been watching all of your videos and learning a lot with you! What is the best way to support you at this point?

Do you have a parts list? Nice build 👍

Do you have to have a sub panel when using this box ? Thanks 😊

Bro this is awesome, been watching your story. Just got some land myself :) how long did it take you to get proficient in sketchup?

Is this panel going to serve your home? If so, i noticed that you used the same panel bus for both the ground and neutral conductors.The service disconnect is the last place you can do this and your house panel will be considered a sub panel and the neutral must be separated from ground. Neutrals can only be grounded at the service disconnect. I've subscribed and will watch your channel. I'm retired but still keep my license up to date. I can advise if you wish, Best wishes!

What is the model # on that Square D panel? It looks like exactly what we need for our container home project

No links in the description

Wheres the link for the meter box??

Hey Chris, do need to get a permit to do this job? Very informative video!

Hi, how are you doing? My name is Mike and I also live in the Florida area. For a while now I've been trying to plan out a storage container build of my own. I had just a few questions. How do I go about asking if it's possible to build on a vacant lot? I know I should ask the country. Just didn't know exactly how to word an email or if I should call? Second how much were the fees associated with breaking in the ground. I know it varies from county to county. Thank you! Cant wait to see more updates! Good luck!!

What size screws and nuts did you use to mount the panel to the struts?

Are you sure you need a two pole breaker for the RV? That's 240 volt. Most RVs are 120 volt 30 amp

❤

Where is the ground rod?

ALTHOUGH THESE CONT. HOMES ARE A GREAT IDEA, WHAT PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE IS THAT THE WOODEN FLOORS ARE TREATED WITH "HIGHLY TOXIC INSECTACIDES" AND THEREFORE NOT SUITABLE FOR HUMAN INHABITATION.

Why did you need a dual pole 30amp breaker when RV plug is only single pole? Just curious. Great video
