Building a house, need long term RV site
I'm putting my house on the market next month and have begun the process of getting a new custom house built. I estimate I will be homeless for about seven months or so. I am brand new to all thing...

When we build a house, we have the electrical meter mounted on a pole part way out the driveway. We then have a temporary panel installed to supply electricity for building the house. You could have a plug installed on the temporary panel for you to plug in to. Have a portable toilet company delivery a jobsite washroom for yourself, and the workers. You could stay on site, provide night security, and watch the house getting built. When the house is completed, you leave the meter on the pole, and run the permanent wire to the house. This way you don't have the meter on the side of your house. If you prefer to have the meter on the house, just leave enough cable to reach the house once completed.
If you planned on an outside shed when you build the house, you might consider getting the shed now and using it for additional space instead of a tent for additional living. You could also wire it into the temporary service connection for lights, electric heat, hot plate, coffee pot and your needed office space.
