    Pole building wall insulation

    I insulated my building similar to the way you have described. Block it house wrap, then 1 1/2 eps between the perlins to fill the void. Then 2" XPS over the perlins, bought the spray foam gun and sealed all the seams. Then I finished filling the wall with unfaced R13 batts. I am happy with...

    Land Survey

    Use your survey and try to locate the pins set by the first surveyor. There are locators for finding these. Depending on how big a city you live in the city workers may have a locator you could use. Look for witness markers left by the surveyor.

    Mower recommendation?

    Used a John Deere Z445 54" for the past ten years on my 3 acres. Considering a Scag when I trade. JD has been good to me but it seems like I pay a premium for parts. On the other hand the dealer is only 10 miles, where as the Scag dealer is an hour. Next mower will have a bagger so that may...

    My wifi install

    Separate wifi and password in the shed around 200' from the house. Not smart enough to do anything different. Has worked so far without any problems. Devices usually switch on their own. Wifi in our area is so stinking slow its not a big deal anyway.

    Debating Power options for shop.

    Don't know if it would work, but I would move the meter back to the transformer if possible. Then you could serve both buildings under one meter. You already have the wire to the house and would still just need a shorter run to the shed. Dont know your codes, but a 400A service is most likely...

    Extra meter for Shop

    One meter. The only reason you should consider a second is if the shop and home are too far apart. A 200A service is sufficient for 99% of the residential services in our district. (even if they think they need a 400A service) Many people confuse connected load with their actual demand load.

    Yeah, I won't argue that... but why would I pay someone to do in a day what I could do in 6 months?
