Been full for months
3450 gallons each x 5 = 17,250 gallons
Used a bit during the Masons, and watering trees every three days. Last night topped them back off. Every time one inch of rain hits the shop, that's enough to fill one tank. I get 42" a year, so really my problem is not keeping them full, my problem is not enough capacity for the amount of roof I have, and the amount of rain I get. I'll keep buying tanks as the money allows. I still have to gutter the house. That pretty much doubles my water filling ability. I figured you’d be using that pond water for the plants

With 42” of rainfall annually, you shouldn’t need to water St. Augustine grass. It only needs 30-35” a year. I don't care, and I would have had to be watering it since mid May. I would have to buy it also. Common Bermuda occurs naturally out here. I've got acres and acres of it. St.Augustine would be a foreigner and a high maintenance one at that.

Floors finished cleaning yesterday, and got them stained. Today we got them all covered.
We bottoned up the few remaining gaps to close the envelope.
Foam insulation crew arrived, and got prepped to spray tomorrow. Will be insulated by the end of the day on Wednesday.

I'm past tired of being asked that. How the hell could anyone know that? It all depends on the speed of subs and the speed of material arriving. I DO NOT KNOW! I am doing all I can to make it happen.

Foam insulation crew arrived, and got prepped to spray tomorrow. Will be insulated by the end of the day on Wednesday. I bet that will really help with the inside temperatures. I went into the attic of a house a few days after it was insulated and the difference from before was night and day cooler. It's looking good Jason.

Sprayed insulated houses are great so long as the HVAC is properly sized and installed for moisture control. I like ours real well, our attic space was 78 degrees Sunday when i went up there, the inside of the house was 72. The best part is the electric bill runs $80-$85/month on that meter.

You must have cheap electric rates. We have spray foam, run the house at 70 and usually get $150-$180 bills

HVAC guys are giving it outside air. HVAC guys and foam guys don't think I'll ever seen a bill over $150 a month for this 3600 sq/ft house. Sounds good to me!

I have 2200 sqft under A/C, so I bet they are close on the bill. BigPig: Looks like our rate is .9834 on the power. I have no idea if that is cheap or not, we have no choice on power here.
