Well, got my first quote last week and the second vendor is supposed to deliver this Friday.

First guy says "we do many pond loops...maybe 10% total". However, I don't see that in the quote, specifically, especially the digging part to get to the pond. ($15500 before REC rebate and tax credit.)

Second guy says "we specialize in horizontal boring" but they'll quote it both ways. He says they do one 200' round-trip bore per ton capacity. Before calcs, his experience leans to 3-4 tons...and EACH bore is $1300, plus $1200 to get into the house. That's $6400...I can't believe pond wouldn't be cheaper and more efficient.


More confused than ever...


In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
