7 grand for a survey??? I need to take the two week course and become a land surveyor! My last survey was $350, and I thought that kinda high for a 1-2 hour job. And, yes, I know there is some more time back at the office drawing up stuff.

That is cool as hell! Can you imagine what something like that would cost the Army, new, today???

Thanks for the reply, Charles. I guess I should have clarified. The well is no longer in use. I figured, I have a nice solid "building" here, so what can I do with it? Moving the compressor outside will free up a small bit of space and quiet the place down. So, that being the case, do you...

I would like to put my 80 gal. compressor in this well house. The inside dimensions are 43" x 47". The compressor, at it's widest point is about 32", so it would be a little tight. Up top I would build an enclosure with plenty of ventilation. Anything glaringly wrong with this plan? Also...

I ran a line off my main service to the house. It has a 125 amp breaker. I initially planned on having a separate line run to the shop, but the guy from Duke Power suggested I not do that. He said I would have to pay every penny of their expense to do so, and also pay a higher rate for the...

Welcome!

Looking good.

I have one of those Japanese "gray market" tractors, an Iseki (made by Bolens, I believe) TS1610 diesel from the early to mid 80's. It's 2WD with a front end loader, post hole digger and a tiller. Although it has ZERO bell or whistles, it is of fairly decent quality and gets the job done...

Re: anybody have carpet in there garage?? When the wife decides to replace an area rug, which is often, I take the one she is throwing away and lay it in a "strategic" spot in the garage. It may seem somewhat cheesy, but it's warmer and softer than concrete, and I don't have to haul it to the...

Love it. Custom, "outside of the box" designs are the best, as they inspire MORE "outside the box" thinking! Good job.

I know this question has been asked many times, but this is a little different. I am starting a mobile oil changing business. My Chevy 2500 has a IR T-30 gas powered air compressor. It's LOUD. I don't want to show up at a customers house at 8AM and piss off the neighbors (or the customer)...

I am a semi-hoarder. I used to be much worse. I could write a book on this, but, just as a for instance, I recently completed a series of woodworking projects. I had tons of "good" leftover wood. I KNEW that these were all good drop offs that I would use "sometime," but I overcame my hoarder...

Welcome (from Monroe, NC), and have fun....but beware...this site makes you want to spend bundles of cash!

Another NC guy saying WELCOME aboard. Monroe here (almost neighbors).

I bought one some years back (actually a drill, not a screwdriver) as a back up (because it was cheap). Didn't realize when I bought it that is wasn't variable speed. Used it once, didn't like, haven't used it since.

I am very curious about this whole thing myself. There are very conflicting reports on electric heaters. Edenpure seems to get poor reviews overall, despite the hype and the high cost to purchase. I've tried to do research on electric heaters, but the contrast between people who absolutely...

Welcome, and good luck with the new build! We look forward to seeing it.

I live on a small lake, where the shoreline was obscured by a vast overgrowth of plant life. I figured I would buy a Bobcat and clean it up (along with some other projects). I did (an older 843), but when I was working with the backhoe one day, it broke free and I was tossed off as the machine...

I use a combo approach to tool buying. First rule is buying the RIGHT tool for a job (this is a later development for me, but an important one). For instance, if job A will get done in the shortest amount of time (B) with the the "proper" tool, but COULD be accomplished, time wise, in 10xB...

Welcome! I grew up with a Mt. Clemens mailing address...technically, Clinton Township. Moved to NC at age 24.
