Building a Cabin Step 3: How To Get Electricity
This is Huntin’ Land, the podcast for landowners and land hunters. If you like to stay up to date on hunting tactics, land management, land values, and land market dynamics, this is the podcast for you. On the third installment of our Building A Cabin Series, Joe, Butch, and Clint talk with Rob Ozols, founder of Vulcan Solar Power, about how to get electricity for your cabin project. Rob explains the options and the pros and cons of electrical service, solar systems, and generators. Plus, they deep dive into the construction, needed components, costs, and common maintenance issues.
As a landowner, it is important to know what your land is worth. You may find yourself asking the questions like, “how much is my land worth today,” “how much is my land worth per acre,” “how much is timberland worth,” “what is my farmland worth,” “how much is agricultural land worth,” and other such questions. Many factors go in to determining the value of land and seeking out the wisdom of experts is a great place to find the answers to your questions.
Each week, on the Huntin’ Land Podcast, we will bring in various experts to help provide answers to the important questions landowners have.
