If there's a big honkin' pipe over the monument, it makes it hard for the surveyor to go back and set his instrument on top of it... Why not set your pipe/t-post-flagpole just inside? 6 inches won't mean much to a trespasser, and you can still walk to your mark and find the actual monument...

Thanks for the replies. Answers, if it's not too late (I've been in design review meetings all week)... The ground is currently gravel, will be covered with crusher run. Eventually asphalt paved (or maybe concrete depending on cost when we get to it. This structure is to be strictly a rain...

I'm planning (long-range for now) a pole barn type structure to cover the area between two existing buildings. I want a simple metal hip roof 12:1 pitch or thereabouts, with an eave height around 15 feet so that it is above and overhangs the existing buildings. It must be high enough to allow...

Seriously? You're going to complain that you only get a 20% discount? :eyecrazy:

How will you use the garage if you expect to drive through it to get on the other side of it?

I guess there's a lot of dumbasses that marry the wrong person. I'm allowed to spend what I want on whatever I want, and my skills are appreciated. :p

Neon.

Delco or Bosch alternators are sometimes used as direct Lucas replacements in some British cars. Dunno about your wire arrangement and how that might work - doesn't look like the Lucar connector I'm used to...

Until something happens, and your insurance company gets involved. Then you find out how inexpensive that little stamp can be...

I've had two of them erected, one a 40x100 Quonset-style, and another similar tot he eBay picture. Easy to assemble, easy to get skewed as you go along. Pull strings to keep things straight, have plenty of help or the proper system to lift sections into place, etc. Oh, and remember that the...

You can't replace a 100A panel with a 200A panel if your power company only supplied you with a 100A service. You might want to check that out...

It's not lost revenue. My power company pays me to be more efficient, because that means they need to build less generating capacity (especially for peak times). But remember: You need the same infrastructure - poles and wires to houses - no matter what the efficiency. Put up enough solar...

I look at it as $73 for not having to wait until I have enough stuff to get an order over the threshold. I need something, like soldering flux, I order it, It's here a day or two later. I think of something else, it's on the way too. Before Prime, I had to get up orders big enough. I'd often...

Why not take the wood off, use it somewhere else, and put a proper metal top on it? The desktop in my office-built-in is made from a wood counter like that. Looks great...

Mink or ermine would be nice, but I went with OSB. Cheap and easy, that's me...

Actually, warm air rises. Heat goes in all directions. Heat is transferred by three methods, convection, conduction, and radiation. That's the warm air, the heat moving through the slab, and the Sun. Use them wisely. :thumbup:

Looks like you're missing the one thing you need to know - what is the temperature differential that the heater can provide? The manufacturer can tell you this, but so may web sites - and notably the two you are shopping at - leave out the salient details and expect you to make a choice...

Well, Sarge, it's like this...I've got three new cars, and three old cars. For every oil change, I've got to get the oil and the filters, bring the car in and jack it up, drain the oil, drink a beer, take the filter off, drink another beer, clean it up, put new oil in, and check it out. All...

Fortunately, my self-worth doesn't depend on your faith. So I'll continue to use my time wisely. :beer:

Nope, not yet. I wanted the unbiased GJ opinion first, before the manufacturer's sales job. :willy_nil Partially...that's the general method suggested by the building contractor. Yes, and I haven't begun to price it out yet. Might be just as easy to use the top coat - re-reading it, it...
