Good luck with the job search.
Never bought one, and thank you.

Always the case to-date, when I have time I don't have the money; so I didn't go and get one.

I wish if it would save me money, I even have the vernal stream.

I knew a guy who had a retreat up in Vermont. He ran well pipe way up the side of the hill and tapped into a stream. The alternator was down at his building.

Ah, so it is not cost effective for you then? Unfortunate... what if you installed solar panels on your roof? Or a windmill maybe

Damn too hot, just came inside time to cool off and get ready for work. I'm fencing off a section of my yard to make a lockable space for my lawn tractor and other stuff too big for the shed. I started this project yesterday but all I did was one post and I was whipped in yesterdays heat. Got a little bit further today, got two sections up
