Interesting. Why do you think that's better?

My tank is still under warranty and the bladder broke. Not looking forward to dealing with it.

It supplies a more constant pressure compared to a pressure switch on a bladder tank.
I put a big bladder tank on my well, along with a 50/70 pressure switch. It works and my well is a little further from the house than is ideal. And a little down hill.
The Well guy told me about them and after looking into it, and asking my plumber brother, they are way better than a bladder tank.
my lawn irrigation pressure fluctuates with the pressure switch, as does the pressure to the house. Supposedly it will be a constant pressure with the new equipment.

i need to finally build the pump house too. I’m laggin on all kinds of shit!

This is all part of the reason I deal.with RO. Maybe I need to try a run with hose water and/or tap water.

This is a shark bite fitting. 1/2" with a 3/8 bull on the t.

Find and water line going to a shower or sink.

SHUT THE WATER OFF!!!

cut the pipe

Slide on the sarkbite

Screw on a dishwasher hose

I've been buying stainless braided hoses $14 for 8'. They screw right into any 3/8 fitting you need, and they don't leak. Unless you leave them on, like I did. But I got a new shop vac and clean floors out of the deal

Just make sure wherever you tap it's before the water softener. My shower and laundry supply is soft water although my kitchen sink is hard for culinary reasons.

Good point. I only have a filter, I put it on bypass when I fill my buckets

SO, the new lawn mower showed up yesterday and my son got it out of the box this morning. It is missing a carriage bolt for the handle so I got on the phone with craftsman. 45 minutes later no one had picked up yet, so I get in a chat at Lowes. Their recommendation is bring the whole thing back and exchange it. The closest store is a 30 mile round trip, so I don't think so. Ace should have one in the loose bolts bins, I hope.
Headed for the initial visit to the pain clinic today, hopefully they'll get me on the books soon for some shots to try to help my back. This is getting really old and frustrating. Moving heavy shit and putting it in places that are hard to reach takes it's toll.
Mornin.

Very cool to see the differences in set ups/systems. I first notice that everything on your system is outside/exposed to the elements. No freezing temps there? If not...how deep is your service line? All of my system is in my mechanical room in the house. (and my house is damn small)

My well is easily that far away from my house....and get this...my service line goes UNDER my creek. Yup. My service line here is about 5 ft deep min. Never had any trouble with freeze but wow is the water cold in Winter.

That constant pressure unit would be sweet. Would love to hear more/how it works if you make the jump!

You're turning out some fantastic looking plants, especially being a new grower.

one of my good farmer buddies is packing it all up this year, after 15+ years. he said the costs of cows, pigs, and chickens right now is completely bonkers. what was at one point $1/lb on the hoof at auction is now $2.85/lb. he used to pay his butcher $900/visit (not sure how much he was dropping off)...regardless that same number of animals is now costing him $1900/visit. he had a lot of ominous things to share that felt a bit doomsday-ish, but suffice to say: if your diet consists of a lot of meat, you should be starting a special savings account just to afford it soon.

plant based might be our future...

I'm not ruling out raccoons.

Last summer I tried that. Hit the bypass on the water softener then ran the tub and flushed the toilet to flush soft water out then filled buckets from the tub. But I have a blended tap on the bath, you can't get straight cold water, so a little soft from the water heater was enough to give me pretty bad lockout. Took a while to understand it. I'm not used to nutrition issues. Spent the rest of summer with a garden hose coming in from an outside tap.

thank you! i'm blushing now...
i'm gonna change up a few things with the new babies so i'm hoping that my thumb stays green for the summer girls!

here's an interesting survey:
based on where you live, if you had to trap/hunt/otherwise kill your own animals for meat, what would you be eating? i'm talking about in your direct proximity - no leaving your property/neighborhood.
here we'd we eating raccoons, opossum, rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, and deer. i guess we *could* eat our chickens, but i'd rather keep them for eggs.

Raccoons, skunks rats, pigeons, and seagulls.

Yum.

On my own property without leaving, it's sparrows, robins, rats, and the occasional stray cat. I'd prefer the nachos I just made D:

And an assortment of birds and mice to snack on.
