bingo! weird I could remember the cost but not what it was.:|: I added the bladder tank when I re-ran the well 2 years ago. The tubing runs into the top of the pump housing. this could explain why I get a bit of air in the lines form time to time I'm guessing? So I should be able to remove...

tried a search on that and many other things. Can't find anything that looks close. Suppose I'll go check the old hardware in town...If he hasn't got one he probably knows where to find it...whatever it is.

Only been 2 years and I've forgotten what this is called:|: mine is leaking and I need to replace it but can't for the life of me remember the correct name of the thing (flying saucer).

yep, bath was first on the list Butch. then did about three loads of laundry, dishes, and filled emergency water jugs all back up. I've got good water flow back. Just need to make an adjustment to the bladder tank...pump goes off & on to often, but other than that it's working great.

Once into the big city to pick up pump and three trips to the local hardware later....I have Water! 8):D Flowing fine and clean as it gets.

The latest...I took such a long vacation from here almost forgot about this thread :|: Still getting lots of sand and not much water this morning so pulled the thing up to start over. Only part of the mangled lower sections came up and they were packed full of sand. Drove new point and pipe...

Plenty more to go Butch! but it's nice to make progress. As an aging human Jay, I try to be careful with everything...:)

finishing up the siding...

Decided to tear down the eyesore in the back and let some light into the room. Only about 8 nails holing the whole thing to the house...pulled it down with the mini, nothin' to it.

thanks guys. Jay, I doubled the size of the window 'cause I like natural light. I've always liked green/brown color combinations. Sent my Sis to the store to pic out colors for the walls, then I took her samples with me to pick out the flooring.

Painting is all done and cabinets are in the Bath. It sure is nice having a sink & cabinets in the bathroom again...been too long without and there never was near this much storage before.:)

Finally finished with the drywall in two rooms. Got done applying primer around midnight last night.8) Looking forward to seeing it all painted in a couple days. Still have to hang cabinets, do a bit of plumbing, and hook up a couple electric outlets, but I can see the light at the end of the...

Jay, the expressway runs just in back of our property and they have lengthened our road and changed the zoning to industrial/commercial. Mine is the last house (only four left on our street) before "pole barn city". We used to have a dirt road that wasn't used by any but us that lived here. Now...

thought I'd throw up a status update on the place. Sheetrock is nearly done except building a small bulkhead and some sanding. My finishing skills have officially reverted to novice: way more sanding required than there should be from over generous application of joint compound.:|: Been about...

I don't know Sooner. I've never insulated that way. My place doesn't have firestops in the walls or plates between the floors, so I can actually fill a wall all the way to the bottom plate of the first story from the second story attic. When I tear a room out to remodel it, as I'm doing now, I...

ceiling up, insulation blown in and new windows installed.

A few pics of the back room and pole barn tear-outs.

Yup, going to take a while for sure. Vanity and cupboards for bath are here already. 20yd dumpster coming in later this week. every exterior wall on the original house has 1 x 19 1/2" pine lining the entire inside; real pain for running electriric but a nail will stick anywhere...

Thought I'd start this to share how I am coming along on the old home place. At present, i have the electric re-done except for a couple rooms and plumbing done minus the bath vanity. As soon as I finish the bathroom and two other rooms I will move into that side of the house and start on two...
