Anyone need a box for an old Black and Decker 1/4 inch drill? Free - just pay the cost of shipping.

I don't believe so. You can have 1,000,000 gallons in a municipal tank, and the pressure is still based on the difference between the water elevation and the outfall location. Smaller masses of water will drop in pressure faster as the water runs out, but no change in pressure.

No, not that much. Only .43 PSI per foot (and minus friction loss) of elevation difference between the outfall (end of hose) and the highest point of stored water.

My compressor seems to have developed an oil leak. Any guesses how hard it will be to fix? What will I need? I bought it uses for $50 around 9 years ago, and mostly use it for airing up motorcycle tires or occasionally running a small nail gun for woodworking. Looks like I could replace it...

Soak *all* of them in oil so it at least looks consistent.... (Sorry, I just had to say it...)

Where did you order the sand & gravel from? Cost? I'm in Chamblee, and will be doing a similar project one of these days...

Treated wood just means it will take longer to rot out, but it will still rot. To do it right will be expensive - you'd need to cut the asphalt back, over-excavate, and rebuild using a permanent material. If it were me I'd go with one of the unit-block walls (keystone or similar) but poured...

How well do the ikea cabinets hold up? I'm about to buy a small 1-car garage with attached house, and will need to do some serious organizing to make everything fit.

Where are you at? I'm a civilian contractor working out of Kabul.

Thanks for the websites. I'll start checking them out. Thanks for the book selections, too - I'll look them up when I get home. I'm currently working in Afghanistan right now, and probably will be here for the next year or so. The mail runs between 2 to 8 weeks, so I probably won't see them...

Are there any websites that you'd recommend for learning the basics of residential electrical wiring? I know how 12v automotive works, but the A/C stuff just seems like voodoo. A website that starts with the theory would be great - I need to understand the big picture before I get down into the...

Looks good! BTW, from the pictures I'm guessing you're down on the SE side of town, perhaps the Happy Hollow area? It's been 15 years since I lived in Fayetteville, but I still get back fairly often to visit family....
