For your electrical power, install at least one blank conduit in the panel box that leads outside somewhere. May come in handy for out buildings. I currently have a main panel with five subpanels because I don't like the idea of long power runs. Also choose a panel that has inter-changeable breakers with other companies such as GE (Square D does not). Make sure the ground is isolated from the neutral in the panel (remove the interconnecting bar between the two buses). This is important for sensitive electronics, etc.

For plumbing, install a water hammer in the horizontal section before a fixture. Simply a tee installed with a 6 - 8" vertical piece attached with a cap. Allows for an air cushion, or shock absorber for surges and maintains constant pressure. For me, I designed my house for all plumbing to be on the outside walls, did not want any vents going through the roof.

You may also want to consider a "package" unit instead of a split unit for your AC/furnace. The thermodynamics I calculated is superior, and has worked for us well here for the past 25+ years.

Just my thoughts Joe.

Printed for my files Randy. Thanks very much. Met with my well man (friend) today and we discussed exactly what you mentioned. He quoted me a turn key price hooked up to
the house of $6,000.00 and the well a minimum of 200'. This was with a generator for backup electricity for the well. I have the fiberglass dome to place over the pressure pump
and generator and the well itself will remain accessible for pulling the pump if necessary.

Everyone needs to have a goal......something involving fun.....something to shoot for that keeps their brain active......one of mine is to be the oldest (still fishing) living member of CDC.....I think I am good for at least another 10 years.....I would be 88 then.......boat being serviced tomorrow.......going fishing Tuesday (Didi going with me D).....trying out those new swivels.....

At your current pace, I have no doubts. Don't cast a shadow long enough to let moss grow.

The high school football season is over - bummer. I don't care for the current state playoff system in place. The "select" and "non select" teams playing separately. The "select" teams are the private Catholic schools. It's like give me a break, a 10 team playoff with two games in the first round with them. And they are so proud of themselves with a championship.

On a good note, Ann changed the sheets on the bed this weekend to the flannel ones. You fellas aren't living right until you tried those.

The current playoff system is a laughable matter. I can't believe we have 9 championship games. My brother-in-law coaches Mangham, so I will be in New Orleans this weekend.

What you SEC West guys saying about pawning Muschamp off on us??

I personally am going to miss him. I looked forward to one of LSU automatic wins every year. :biggrin

Been useing flannel sheets in winter time for years......I like flannel pillow cases year around.

Received my email tickets Monday for the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra tribute to Led Zeppelin:

Attachment 221979

Jimmy Page really did use a bow on his guitars to advance the sound of the music he produced. And, he did produce all of his music himself:

Attachment 221980

A true master for sure. The Beatles were good, and a huge hit, but never could read/write music - didn't know how. Much like many today. The twin neck guitar Jimmy played on occasion was necessary to play such songs as the stairway to heaven - 6 string, 12 string, and acoustic.

I wish he was going to be there, but a real pleasure for sure regardless. Ann say's since it's a symphony event, I'll have to dress nice. She say's folks that go to symphony's are supposed to. She couldn't tell me why. I guess I'll call over there to inquire about that.

Any of you Baton Rouge folks who would like to have a early dinner with us (show starts at 7:30), we would enjoy that.

>The Beatles were good, and a huge hit, but never could read/write music - didn't know how

were did you get that from?
