I'm putting in power right now at my lot, hooking it up to a shipping container to be my "construction/shop" trailer. (Some pics here: http://imgur.com/a/LTEuA)

It's going to cost me almost $15,000 for just electric, and that's with me doing all the work with equipment I already own. The power company is really bending me over for being 650ft from the road...

I still have water and gas to install someday too.

You can't get away with anything cheap in New York State, that's for damn sure...

So yeah, if at all possible a lot with services already installed is a great idea lol!
