Isn't it because single stage is so much harder to do because with a base and clear, you don't have to do as good a job with the base. The clear does all the work. I'm not suggesting this is a good thing, but lower quality shops don't want to put the work into a single stage. -Original

Re: [MBZ] Hedge wood was RE: OT Latest track

Most of the purpose of Osage Orange is for a barrier. It grows into a very gnarly hedge and it will definitely keep out a lot of things. I see it a lot in Kansas as farmers used hedge years ago on borders. Once it is cut down, I know a lot of people use it for fenceposts. It is so heavy

I wonder if it's worth having both a submersible and a pedestal in the same hole if there's room for the bases. Each pump would need its own one way valve before teeing the pipes together, but if you set the pedestal to come on an inch higher than the submersible you'd be covered for any failure
