To close this thread, everything worked out fine. Ran 1-1/4 inch for all the replaced line and connections. Water is working well in the house and now the garage too, yahoo! No noticeable change in pressure. Sure was a pain to do but I guess that was half the fun. I'd still rather do that than...

I'm not that experienced with the well/pump/tank and stuff. The pump house is maybe 125' down hill from the house - I don't remember the depth off hand, but its all right there, the tank, sub-panel etc. I'm thinkin' that shutting off the electrical and valve down there should suffice. I've been...

Thanks for the logic Charles. The only things I need to add are a tee and a valve. The tee to hook all three pipes together and the valve to control the line going to the garage/shop.

Thanks for the good advice. Sorry if the question seemed marginal in importance, but stuff like this seems to like to find and annoy me- lol. If nothing else, the main task of connecting the water down to the garage/shop will be nothing short of completely satisfying. The results are a sink...

Thanks Mike. That thought had crossed my mind, speculation as it is. The entire household and irrigation system are moderately deficient and adjusting the well pressure and pump duration doesn't seem to make any difference. It's only natural that the deviance in construction has piqued my...

Thanks for the insight. I had 3/4" pipe at my previous house which was fine. With this situation, I don't think the diameter of the pipe is as important as why are there two different diameters? (a reduction) It's just a flag that got my attention. Is there a practical reason for the...

:headscrat... yes, therefore the question. By the way, try not to think about the second part- it's irrelevant for the most part, except to say that it ties in with getting water down to the garage, which I'd really, really like to have.:spit:

Question: In the photo, there is a reduction in the pipe size from 1-1/4" to 1" then back to 1-1/4". Doe's this perform a function such as increasing pressure? Closer to the house, where the "House In" line goes, it reduces in size again. Anyways, what's more important, pressure or volume...

I'm just getting started on mine, so I can't really make suggestions quite yet. Nice looking units there. I got a couple of birch tops and the same handles as in the top photo from Ikea last week. The rest will be 2x4 framing, 1x facing and mdf for the doors. The link below shows the general...

This thread started originally because I wanted to get a 230v welder. I finally did buy one last week and it's a Miller 180. The decision was primarily based on the $$ available. Anyways, I lit it up last night after getting the associated requisite gear and all is well.... except for my ability...

Very nice. I tend to like clean/sano/uncluttered type garages. Nice work there. :beer:

I'd also like to know more about your garage. Very clean/sano and your surroundings are nice also

:) I've lived in tract housing all my life and finally moved to a more rural area. Our last place was on the corner of a busy intersection, diagonal from a 24hr Circle-K (convenience store). Big rigs turned on our corner up to, I'd say, 100 times a day or more. On the other hand, I used to be...

Thanks a bunch. It is a pretty cool location over all. Lots of branches, pine cones, needles etc., but that's the price- lol. The shop is down the hill from the house and sorta like it's own planet once inside- another lol. I'm in the process of slowly moving items over from our other place...

This site and it's occupants have helped me roll with the punches several times so I figure I'd throw some of my photos together to show some of the progress I've made so far. At the bottom of the page here is a link to all the photos, but I'll put some photos up here anyways. The shop is about...

It generally describes caulks that you can paint over. Some you can, some you cant. (kinda reminds me of plumbers tape- lol - teflon or metal straping) Nice stripe jec. Good size and spacing.

Ah, you put a smile on my face. I essentially had five lines to correct and it took me a LONG time - lol. A rolling chair helps.

Nice pic on your website connerB. Check out my website: www.desert4wd.com

Thanks.... still in progress. Got some of the coving down and thats about it. Next...... the cabinets....:shocking:

Thanks a bunch, (and to all who responded) It took me a while to correct my errors- with small brush and magnifying glass- lololololol. I'm done striping the main garage, but have some areas left to do so I'll get to implement the fine techniques suggested here. Working on the floor coving now...
