1)  Who did all of your designs?  I'm in Ohio which is pretty easy to work
with from what I gather, but they still wanted the GIS design of what you
were doing.
2) They all want money.  If you don't have $1000 you can't get product.
Are you just pushing off your fiber reel off the truck?  Where are you
getting a truck for <$1000?
3) WISP that can't afford a one day trip, wisp wants paid for the
bandwidth, still more than a one day event
4) HD wants money for seed, too.
5) Clever trick, that's a lot of hand digging to set that up and you better
hope there's not a rock to divert your pipe

The items you listed here are more than a 1 day trip.
