    I have found that with fescue the more you cut it the better. Just do not cut it very short in the hot summer since it goes dormant and you will want enough to shade the roots.

    Re: Mounting Tool Box

    Yes, it sits on top of the side rails. So I can drill and bolt it, but
    1) I think the metal is pretty thin on most trucks and it will eventually tare out the whole.

    The issue with the small wires in the fixture is that they are short. Remember that the power loss in a conductor is I^2R and that R is proportional to the length and 1/(cross sectional area). What...

    Re: O.K. to bury emt conduit in ground?

    Go PVC. Cheaper and a lot less work.
    The other guys are right the EMT won't be water tight and will rust over time.
    PVC will outlast you as long as you don't take a backhoe or similar to it.
