bowtie, i would agree with meadowlark. push the electrical line as far as you can, then run the compressor line. i have heard a compressor, and not loud at all, especially if a little ways away from your house and if in a quieting device such as a stone like cover offered by various companies. i don't know anything about the grass that meadowlark mentioned, but check with him in relation to where you are. i'm in arkansas, and that is the only input i can offer. bermuda seed, "common bermuda" is about 100 bucks for fifty pounds. doesn't seem to go far, but eventually it will spread around!! "sprigging"...plugs of bermuda grass that you space out is an option. don't know much about it though. mark
