What kills me also is I was 100% sure geothermal would come in at $25k, and with the 30% tax credit that's $17,500. $4k extra is a no brainer to go to geothermal is you ask me. But this same guy came in at like $28k just for the HVAC equipment. Then $9k to drill Goddddddamnit. |

just got my roofing panels in today Installer wont be able to do it for a couple weeks, but weve got 3 price increases coming(industry wide) between now and July, so I had to get it. Kinda sad for someone who used to install metal to get someone to do it for them, but I gots no time. I'll post some pics when done....black panels on a white house with black shutters....should look great.

Sorta gripe: KeystoneHelp provides low interest financing up to $20k for high efficiency products and home improvements. I am approved but you need SEER ***8805; 15.0, EER ***8805; 12.5, and HSPF ***8805; 8.5 to qualify for what I'm getting. The systems I got quotes for are SEER ***8805; 15.5, EER ***8805; 12, and HSPF ***8805; 8.5. You can't get the EER rating up unless you oversize the system, which I really don't want to do and which doesn't make sense. Even if I went to 18 SEER I only get 15.2 EER. Crap. Also, HVAC sales guys are funny. They don't want to "trash" other companies but they certainly go right on trashing other companies. |

This is why people need teh mad skilz.
Really not that much to framing some walls and a flat slanted roof. Nail gun, hammer, level, tape measure, pencil, circular saw, and chalk line will pretty much do it. Top plate, bottom plate, studs, and rafters. A couple of YouTube vids to build confidence and most able-bodied dudes should be able to handle it. Think of the education level of most guys doing home construction. Not that high. |

Came home yesterday to AC at 80. Luckily, it was because we had forgotten to turn on the upstairs AC, which was sitting at 95!
90 mins later, we're back to 75 Decided to go through w/ staining the concrete floor in my new store, vs the hardwood. Also, yay for new thread. |

Does anyone know about tree trimming? I have a mature red oak in my front yard. I need to trim it but I heard you shouldn't this time of year because of oak wilt. Would treating the limb with pruning paint prevent wilt? Or should I just not risk it and wait?

You can trim it any time of the year. Best to do when its dormant, but you can do it in the middle of summer as long as you dont go nuts and lob off huge limbs.

It's finally time to get some education in concrete. Finally got my stupid yard nearly flattened out. It's little - about 20x25 - but when we moved in it was just a hill. About 7 feet of elevation change from front to back.
I raised the front 14 inches and knocked the back down about the same amount. Then flattened all but the rear three feet out. Now I just need to build some sort of retaining wall to separate the front and rear sections. Seems easy enough, except I know exactly dick about cinderblock/concrete walls and stuff.. - and I hate paying people to do stuff for me. |

Went to turn on the automatic sprinkler system. I have water flowing, but it's not enough to pop any of the heads up. They just spray a little from the hole in the top.
It appears that I'm getting low flow/pressure through the backflow prevention valve. Opening the manifold, then turning the water doesn't spray near as hard as I think it should. This was supposed to be easy |
