Re: New member in Utah
Was reading your other posts and wondering how you were doing electricity?
The property where I have my yurt setup has a mobile home on it where the owner lives. The yurt is setup ~90 ft from the utility pole that's right next to the mobile such that I can run a 100 ft 12 gauge construction grade extension cord to the yurt from the pole (I wouldn't trust the wiring in an 80's mobile home...). I got a power monitor and a heavy gauge 3-plug adapter for running everything in the yurt (mini fridge, lighting, microwave, laptops/cell phone & battery chargers, induction cooktop, etc). Can't run the microwave, induction burner, or other kitchen appliances simultaneously, but the fridge & lights only uses ~200 watts both running. I got 8 LED bulbs, five are 1600 lumen and the rest 800 lumen; ridiculously bright and only ~100 watts. I might swap out one or two 1600 bulbs for 1200 lumen ones.
What are you planning on doing for 'non-permanent' water?
