A question about electric power. [View All]

I recently purchased 10 acres in western Arkansas. It has a barn is ill repair, a well with no pump and an electrical pole with access to electricity at the pole. It appears that at one time there was electricity into the barn, but the circuit box, etc are long gone. I am hopeful to sell my house in Georgia in the next year or two and to be able ato move out to the "farm" and live. At present, I plan to go out and camp out in late August for a month or so and get together a plan for the place. I am hopeful to get a 10 by 12 shed put up, barn repairs completed and hopefully one of the new and wonderous generations of hand pumps on the well. What I do not want to do is connect to the grid, do wiring and circuit boxes, etc. but would like to have temporary access to electricity for tools to do building and repair. If one gets temporary power to a pole for this purpose, what else must I do to actually access electricity(usable electricity) for the use with electical saws, etc.? Can This be done without a circuit box? Could one plug in right at the pole? As you can tell, I know nothing. Any help I can get to understand this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
