    35 Years in the Making!

    Flaring the tubing would be not be difficult for someone who has been flaring Harley gas and oil lines for how many years ... just saying.

    35 Years in the Making!

    Even the top of the hill is only about 1,200' here, but that's about as high as anywhere else within a few counties, so I'm hoping for some good line-of-sight for 2 meters anyway. My little tower will be above most of the trees.

    35 Years in the Making!

    Thanks for the experience/advice. My tower is only 22' collapsed, so less than 40' extended. I already have the hole for the concrete base jackhammered out. Pouring the base has fallen down the priority list with the house construction. I will guy the lower section. I have a 2 meter J pole...

    Sorry about the tornado and the damage! I have a smaller crank-up tower that I'm going to put up on the hill above our house.

    Yeah, even our dinky rural electric co-op has had remote-reading meters for a long time.

    35 Years in the Making!

    I have had my house and shop on two different meters (at my current place as well as my last house) for 19 years, and the shop bill has always been a small fraction of the house bill. I keep mine separate because I lease my shop to my business, and pay that electric bill with tax-free dollars...

    Kubota's are worth spending a bit more on IMO; the Land Cruiser of tractors.

    That's what I was going to recommend. I use mine for stuff like that a lot.

    35 Years in the Making!

    I have rented a mini excavator in the past to dig drainage ditches; I would love to have one, but just can't justify the cost versus renting for now. The Ditch Witch rental is half or less of an excavator rental here, so that's what I'm going to use for this job. What I hope to do in the...

    35 Years in the Making!

    I am running 130' of 4/0 URD cable, but nearly half of that will be in conduit that is already cast in the foundation footers and buried under the concrete floor of the house, so I only have to trench about 75' - but I will have to make at least two (and maybe three) different trenches, as I am...

    I'm going to be doing that next week.

    35 Years in the Making!

    The cost of wire has gone crazy like everything else. It cost me $80 just for 10' of 2/0 copper wire to connect my meter base and 200-amp disconnect. Don't think I can afford to run copper from the disconnect into the house; about 100' (x3) . The only good news is, the price of copper has...

    Only $15/month/meter in my electric co-op here.
