    Septic drain field setback question

    One county in Tennessee they have perc tests expire after 5 years. Doesn't make sense but maybe just to require it to conform to modern regulations. I would be concerned with the county wanting to expand or play by more modern setbacks. Getting a soil engineer out there may be worthwhile.

    Septic / Drain Field issues

    As others have said no fabric softener, a lot of detergents have it included, buy it without and use dryer sheets instead. Check your labels to make sure the soaps that you are using are in fact septic safe.

    Septic / Drain Field issues

    Health department should have a drawing on file if that new. My wife insists on using bleach to sanitize the sinks after working with raw meat. A cup or two a week probably. I put rid-x in at the first day of the month, and septic shock on the 14th. If you forego mowing for a few weeks where...

    Winterizing a pressure washer pump

    I have an electric and use the briggs spray through the pump. I would be more inclined to use this or fluid film over antifreeze. I would think you would want to protect the seals and I am not sure the antifreeze is going to do that. I will try the compressed air on the line this winter but...

    Looking for help with drainage

    Thoughts on my own project yet to be done. Use pvc pipe pipe, not corrugated pipe. Put in cleanouts every ** number of feet so you can rent a line cleaning machine and daylight it if it gets plugged. Pipe with the drain holes down at the bottom of the trnch so it can fill from the bottom...

    Improving wifi signal and strength to shop?

    I am happy with my Orbi. Private frequency for backhaul so no competition for bandwidth. Each satellite has 4 gigE ports, so I can plant this next to a non wifi device and not run cables.

    So I have an enclosed metal carport / garage. I have thought about insulating it to keep the condensation from dripping on everything during tempature swings.

    Catching Mice

    I've got a rat zapper. It electrocutes the mice instantly. Walk over to the garbage can and turn the unit over and pour out. Only one at a time, but good stuff.

    Motorcycle lift table

    I'd put two bikes next to each other that would be the same distance apart on the two lifts and see how comfortable I am feeling working on one. Roll a cart, welder, anything else you would use between them and see how it feels.

    Insulation in my 30x40x12

    If you spray your walls and seal up your soffit and ridge vent won't it cause condensation and drips on the ceiling?

    How to control bugs in a farm shop?

    I'd heard if you use certain LED lights they do not emit UV, or very little. You don't have to kill what you don't attract. Bug bombs? Use good judgement watch the square footage on the fogger boxes https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/debugged/ Instead of a bug zapper, get a bat house. No...

    reconditioned Milwaukee fuel drill/impact set $200

    Got the combo the other day. XC 4.0 batteries. Drill had some noticeable wear on it. Driver looked pretty good. I was happy with it until the unit would cut out while I was using it in hammer drill mode, drilling some holes in concrete for tapcons after about 15-20 seconds and cut back in...
