Good morning everyone, slow start this morning. More COFFEE.

 

Usually get those off Craigslist

 

I researched years ago for a hand pump kit. Came with rods a piston. Goes on well head. They only went to 100' with extensions but won't do mine at 480'

 

https://www.bisonpumps.com/ No idea on them but them and two others supposedly have a pump that can go 350 -400 foot

@Kolunatic Doesn't someone make a vertical tank stores like 200 gallons that you tie into your current water line ? I have seen it on TV or some where before installed in a garage in the corner . They tie into it so the house feeds off it to keep the water fresh.

?? How long of run time can you get with a 100 lb. tank. Thinking about a conversion kit for my generator. Good morning to all.

 

There is a huge variable IE how much draw most gennie makers make claims of can run for X hours per tank of fuel if you read the small print it is at half load etc. So you would have to do an audit on what you want to run add all the wattage up and then size the generator to that . Perhaps your generator manufacturer can give you the numbers after conversion propane usage rate vs wattage drawn?

Another day babysitting psycho puppy.

 

Well time to get the house cleaning done and with luck cut the grass , it can't decide to be cloudy or sunny this am . After that some odds and ends and kill the day .

Good morning. It is 49* right now was 87 yesterday. Mother Nature had to make a big show about such a wide temperature swing and put on quite the show last night. And rain. Feels good now though. Nap sometime today to make up for the lack of sleep. And because I can.

I ended up an hour at 250* then another hour at 220*. Some said you can go as long as 3 hours but I think about an hour and a half would be perfect. Or whenever the bacon is done

My favorite way to eat corn on the cob is how I grew up eating it. Soak it husk and all for half a day or so and throw it directly in hot coals for about half an hour turning it 2 or 3 times. Some kernels will be burnt but even those are tasty. My youngest son and I would do that camping at the end of trout season I miss that. Fresh caught trout and fresh corn, hard to beat. I have 4 ears left and will throw them directly on coals later today. Time to go soak some corn.

 

Morning all, got up at 4 and went back to bed, woke up at 7.

Don't forget, if you have a water heater, that is another large water storage device. Turn off the supply line and I have 50 gallons in an emergency.

 

Just as logical as any of the other arguments about this kind of stuff lol https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/un-funny-reposted-deleted-pictures.5333/page-9155#post-16050870

Underground poly tanks. If you can't build up, build down.
You can also get creative and use smaller tanks in garage/shed/barn rafters. You would have to add strength somewhere as well as overcome any freezing issues, but it's a thought outside the box.
Another option to pumps is solar and or a dc pump (as mentioned) with a small solar panel kit and a battery.

 

HAPPY SUNDAY

Finally back at the Riva' full time

Powa back on, cable on was a pleasant surprise and life is slowly back to "normal" , Con's welcome sign is repaired and reinstalled on the house Small things quickly add up

We were very lucky as I walk through our little development , neighbors houses are torn apart , one power line is still down and one complete street still no powa ... Now the task at hand is the Florida Room and the exterior repairs....... and this will done in small steps..

Hopefully everyone is putting their lives back together...

Y'all get out and enjoy your Sunday

 

Glad to hear they are working hard to get you back up and running. How much damage from the flooding in the Florida room? Is it screened in or is there drywall?

 

You too enjoy the Day snoope!!

 

I like the idea about dropping off drunken folks in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Funny, however that drunken individual shouldn't aught to be knockin on my door at 03:00, could be unpleasant.
