    Pumping Water Uphill

    Yeah...350 psi ain't right. 10 gal/min does have an enormous amount of friction loss. I would be looking at less than 3GOM in that size of tubing. If not, step up to 1.25".

    Garage Door Rubbing On Track?

    Just fixed this on mine. Added a 3/8" washer to the stem of the roller and it scooted it over enough that it doesn't hang anymore.

    best way to clear trees?

    Bobcat can take out cedar elm trees. 9 of 'em, 20' tall. Took a bit of digging around them, but they are out, rootball and all. Took about 3.5 hours with a semi-experienced guy. :beer: Just 3 weeks ago.

    Brick facade to a metal building?

    Do they use standard brick ties? Does anything have to be done to prep the metal siding that will be behind the brick?
