What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

Back on bottled water....our waters gone again .....

 

Perhaps posting pictures previously proposed.

 

That ain't good.

Well pump issues? Or are you on municipal system?

 

First Eric VW , now you're stringin us along too!

 

I don't know if Big Brown will deliver IBC totes, so now I'm curiously confused.

 

We're On a community well. It runs dry (or occasionally a system issue) just often enough to make sure there's some bottled, or collected rain water kicking around. We don't have municipal anything as such, we don't have town council or property tax, but we do have a service district and pay a small fee for trash collection and water and such. There's a few community wells in the area but many folks do have their own well. we did have our own when we lived at the house we're now fixing up, but if we want it when we move back in it'd probably have to be re-done at this point :/

 

Not sure that I'd be a fan of a community well. Too many variables (usually read.. people) involved for my liking.

Big fan of having our own well, and now a generator as elec backup as well.

 

I can't say I love it, but it's not that different than being on a municipal supply. Goes out a little more frequently maybe. Where I'm working on a carpentry job in town (municipal supply from a large lake), a water main broke right in front of the building last wednesday, road was closed the whole evening pretty much. The city showed up, but I joked the lake must have dropped 3 feet while they were screwing around. As of yesterday they still haven't fixed the road where it was broke up.

I would like our own well again, but not cheap to do and money don't grow on trees. If it did, people would be a lot more considerate towards nature....

 

Unfortunately, I figure there wouldn't be a tree to be found.

People are generally too short-sighted to see the long term gain.

I myself was the same way, never contributed to an IRA, or 401K for retirement until in my mid-late 30',s.

Even a small contribution during my 20's would have grown significantly over the years.

Eh.. the mistakes of my youth are many and varied.

 

Yeah, that would not have gone over "well" at all.

 

Ouch wildwest that hurts the wallet hard.

Obamacare was flawed from the start.
Once the mandate was added, it gave insurance companies free reign to raise rates, not to lower them.

Only in an alternate reality would companies lower prices on a captive market.

Downsizing often helps, but not if other factors are imposed, then you're back to square one again.

It's quite infuriating when you work and do the right things, then the rules get upended.

 

Good question. I’m not 100% sure, but I would imagine it would be $100/hr. Depending on contractor, size, and experience of operator, etc.

I think, haven’t checked lately, to rent a machine this size is about $250-$300/day. (8 hours of use.) I rented one this size with no cab a little while back for $210/day.

Plus they charge you to bring it to you and back. Ouch. Hopefully one is close by if you want to rent one
