i really thought google would help me come up with something for housing my new well system. But all i can find is fake rocks? Not a bad idea, but is this my only option? :confused:

Hey guys i have a 1.3 acre vacant lot im trying to build a home on. It came with a 2" above ground system that is junk and I'm having it abandoned. The well guy is coming tomorrow to put a new well in, a 4" submursible system with a 1HP motor. He plans to drill about 100 ft deep. This was just...

Hi I was wondering how cheaply I could have a detached garage built. Im trying to put my first (mobile) home together on a shoestring budget, you may remember my past threads. Well I decided to sell off some acreage I own to raise some cash. Not enough cash to avoid getting a mobile home, but...

Hi, I need a home on a rediculously small budget (~25-40k), trying to avoid getting a mobile. Will be happy with just a "shell", and work on interior over time. Local barn builder tells me "a 24'x40' building with concrete floor, double bubble reflective insulated roof and walls, 8 windows...

I would like to border my driveway to keep the rock in place, and hopefully keep it neat looking. It may be capped with 1/2" limerock soon. Would this be a good idea? What would I use? I would need 1000ft. On the cheap. :o

I don't know if I should rent a paint sprayer, buy a pump sprayer, pump sprayer + backbrush, airless sprayer, etc etc. No clue! Just want to protect my nice new fence and make it last a long, long time. Also don't want to die of heat exhaustion, and don't want to make a career out of it. What...

Starting to put alot of fencing up. Wondering how I am going to keep it neat looking without weedeating with a trimmer as a full time job. What are my options? Thanks. :)

I need to purchase my first chainsaw. I was looking at the huskies at home depot. But people have told me they are basicly poulans painted orange? I have also heard the parts are difficult to obtain. This may be all hype, I don't know. A local lawnmower shop wants to sell me a stihl "wood boss"...

I have a "flag lot", my driveway is very long and skinny (500+ft x 20ft). I just installed field fence on the right side, and the driveway. I want to install an inexpensive 16' farm gate. This will leave me with approx. 2 feet on either side of the gate posts i'll need to fill with something. I...

Hi I am getting some field fence installed, which consists of treated pine posts, and some kind of woven wire. Are there some real benifits to perhaps staining the treated pine posts? I would like them to maintain a nice unfaded natural wood color (not greying, etc). Is this a good idea...

Money is tight, need a home. Something plain jane, even if it's just dried-in. Trying to avoid getting a mobile in central florida. Any ideas? Thanks. :o

Hi i am aquiring my 1st piece of property, and it's a flag lot. The driveway is pretty long, just over 500 ft, (20 feet wide) and dirt. Im on a tight budget so asphalt or concrete is out of the question. I did however get a quote to limerock it 3.4 -4" thick for $4200. I was also thinking about...
