Add another $100k when all of that breaks in a year or two, lol! From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Fabien Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 3:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber financing / loans? How are you paying for it.
We are self financing and building as much as we can afford. We looked into subcontracting the work and found it to be cost prohibitive. We are doing all the work in house including directional drilling. If you are comfortable working on older equipment and mechanically inclined so you can fix stuff, you can probably get set up with a decent drill rig, big plow, drop plow, couple trucks and trailers for around $100k.

What is a good estimate to bore say 100 or 500 houses passed in a suburban neighborhood that's all asphalt and concrete sidewalks with ~5000sqft lots for pon? I know it could vary vastly but just a ball park ? $1000 per house passed ?
