TUMS � That was a great tip, Thanx! I met with the Engineer from the power company yesterday and they will put a new meter on the pole barn and give me 200A service for a flat rate of $125. Just the wire alone to run from the hosue was going to cost me about twice that. Looking at their website it seems like I will have to jump thru some hoops to get an Ag account setup, but I�ll delve into that in the next couple of weeks. Thanx again.

Stickum � Thanx for the kind words.

Joshua � That area that appears to be underserved, just east of the island and the small cove, are very shallow. I�m hoping to pull some of that water out of the shallows, but I�m prepared to move diffusers or add another as required. This is my first time so that�ll be part of the learning process.

John � I understand the need to do that, I�m a big fan of self sufficiency. I was going to do this by myself too, but my bride insisted that I get a helper, or someone I could help. She especially doesn�t want me on the roof, she doesn�t think this new hip I got last March is actually better than the old one ever was. I picked up the trusses last week and bolted up one just to double check measurements. A few years ago I would have balanced these things on my head and shimmed on up the ladder, but I�m not like that anymore.
