Never charged anybody to hunt on my property, but every year my brothers and I spend a week deer hunting in Michigan, and we pay the farmer for the rooms and he lets us hunt on his property.

Don't lauch. I heard a fella on the radio talking about a car invented in France that works on compressed air. He was looking for an investor. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

sinnce this is a new install I'm gonna ask where the two buttons are: on the pump starter circuit, the pressure switch or the pump itself.
If its the pressure switch, you may have a low...
Its just that hydrogen is like 10x the cost and much less efficient than just about any other storage mechanism you could find. A 1 KW hydrogen powered generator is around $10,000, and has a short...
I don't know if your kidding about the hydrogen part of hydro, but just in case you are, check out the file "The Hydrogen Economy", written by an esteemed and highly regarded commentator (me ...
Those little 1000 watt Hondas are sweet. They are quiet, reliable and go for a long time before refuel. They are also really light. Had one moosey hunting last year.
I believe its also possible to...
Thanks for the email and the post. Glad you've got it sorted out. I haven't had the chance to look at the plans, but if there is any way you can get your modification checked out, do so: it may not...
Beat you to it roypat. I sent the plans to the email address in your profile.

well, usually, yes, the guy from the power company should know.
Round these parts, its not what they do. I had to get a special set up for my meter where they run the cable through a torroid...
Around where I live, you phone up the local truss guy and maybe fax over building drawings (in my case all I had to say was the length & width of the barn, if I had a beam anywhere, the type of walls...
My barn wasn't 40' but an easy solution is to call up a local truss manufacturer and say 'I want to build a barn with a gambrel roof which will be 40' wide and I want to not have a supporting beam'. ...
Hello all

A well survey (usually kept by the town or department of health) would give you an idea as to the typical yield of wells in the area. It could be that you just got unlucky.

Shingles on a hot roof deteriorate much quicker than on a cooler one.
The fellow who told you that you should wait to put on a new roof for a ridge vent didn't know what he was talking about....
I don't understand why you wouldn't put roof vents until you put a new roof. Roof vents are cheap and easy to install, probably cheaper than a fan, and don't need power.
You might look at ridge...

Hmmmm.
I don't fear government tests of my kids, although I would sort of wonder the basis of those tests: regurigition or reasoning?
It is interesting, however, that the teachers unions raised...
This sounds like a scary situation. I would have an engineer look at it. I wouldn't trust a band aid solution without objective, expert advice.

I would add a layer of light duty tar paper. Apparently, the resins from plywood or OSB can react with shingles an shorten their lives. The warranty on most shingles only applied if they are...
In general, the bottom of the footing has to be below the frost line, or the level to which ground freezes. Around these parts, thats 4' below the surface. I have read about using styrofoam...
The approach I'd suggest is to dig a 2' diameter hole a couple feet deep in a suitable location and position an upright concrete pipe into which you've pre drilled with a few dozen holes. When you...
Not as such. There are dozens of companies selling all different kinds of ICF. I went with Blue Maxx. My whole house, basement mainfloor walls and fllors are all concrete.

If you go for radient heating, you could probably do the HAV too, unless you need A/C. I did all my radiant, etc., and it worked out ok.
