Hello all. Pretty new here and have been mostly reading and searching threads for answers. I am in the process of building a shop for my knife business. The structure is up and I can do all my forging off grid. I have access to my old shop to run power tools, but it is a 30 mile drive so obviously not ideal, but necessary until I get the power situation solved. Until I solve the power issue, the commute is my only choice to stay in production. I will be running a 2X72 (220V 2HP), Drill press, Disc Sander, Porta Band, Buffer, 1X30 (all 110V) at various times. Here are my options so far: 1) Pay to have a transformer put in and run a new meter to the shop. The house transformer already has 3 hubs and the power co will not add another. Big $$ 2) Run solar for lighting, radio etc. 3500 watt gen for anything it will power, and run everything else out of the garage in the main home. 3) Tap into the power box at the well. It has 220V running to it and it is only 30 feet from the shop. This is my preferred method but I am not sure if it is possible or even advisable. Any insight or suggestions are appreciated. Here is the shop so far...
