    What are some ornamental grasses that grow over 6FT tall NY 5B Zone.

    I would drive around the neighborhood and look for solutions. Talk with a local nursery. The reason I say this is that we've planted grasses that do will in one part of the yard but not another.

    Far from the power lines, what to do?

    To a utility source. A garage is where we end up doing lots of things that eat electrons. Best guess is that we are either looking at bringing in power someday, or adding more batteries, solar, power and propane to make those electrons. That system is more than adequate to go in and out of a...

    Trying to get a 30x40 shop built in Idaho County Idaho
