That's what we did when I hel[ped build a house in the '70's. Power pole with meter and one outlet and the well, build the house, wire it, inspection, then hook up power to the house. On Sat, Dec 12, 2020 at 5:34 AM Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I thought the first

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

About the last thing you do, after drywall, is install the outlets. I thought it was common to build on generators, and then when you need power (like for starting up the new well), call the power company and say 'hey, the well drillers need power by next Tuesday' (the electrical inspection

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

I would add that the builder who built our house in Wisconsin was quite competent, honest, and had excellent subs. Granted, he was a custom homebuilder, not building tract homes, but he was very good. We had almost nothing in the way of exceptions or issues with the construction of that house.

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

Builders can be idiots. Ours was, mainly because they were tossing homes up so fast they weren’t paying attention to details like we did. They had these little multi-part carbonless forms you could fill out to address discrepancies you found. After about 30 days or so of the framing going up

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

This isn't helping my opinion of builders. Brother-in-law and his wife are in the final stages of having a place built, its been more than a year since ground was broken. Builder dragged his feet all spring, blamed COVID but they hadn't done much more than dig a hole before March.Now they're

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

We’ve always owned our tanks for just that reason. Our former house across the street has a 100 gallon tank buried in the front yard. Right after we moved in the LP supplier that filled and supplied it to the builder sent us a bill for the monthly tank lease payment. Nope. In the bill of

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

My parent's propane supplier royally screwed up this year. Their tanks are 30+ years old and the supplier decided to stop filling them. They never bothered to tell anybody this and the tanks ran out 2 days before Thanksgiving. It turns out that the supplier owns the tanks. With egg on their

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

SEA had a healthy enough oil market that when BioD came along, there was a mass attempt to procure that market. That was the peak (2005?) and tanks have been yanked like dandelions from a putting green. No market in AK, as the stuff is solid at winter temps Clay inter urinas et faeces

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

February is the coldest month so presumably the peak month for fuel oil. Oil heat is very common in my area, I've never had anything else. Our house is heated with oil as is my parent's the in-laws, my grandparents and Angie's and even the "new" farmhouse. Natural gas isn't an option for us or

Tanks are qualified by either the DOT (consumer tanks typically 100 gallons or less) or AMSE (no requalification required.) My 500 gallon tank is an ASME tank and essentially a lifetime tank. It’s got an anode that can be replaced as well as the outside being coated and wrapped with

I have a 500 gallon tank buried in the front yard, but I won’t go looking for a top off until spring, when heating prices ease up and the price goes down somewhat. -D > On Dec 11, 2020, at 6:54 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > Most people have NatGas available and use it. > The

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

Most people have NatGas available and use it. The rest of us, we mostly use Propane in the Great Lakes, while there's still a lot of oil in New England. Propane markets seem somewhat independent of crude oil prices. My new vendor was $0.92 back in January, so I was really looking forward to

Re: [MBZ] Open your Wallet to fill up

The market is probably speculating that with vaccines starting to roll out that travel (and fuel use) will be starting to pick up again. Also January would be peak season for use of heating oil? Not sure whether enough people still heat with oil for that to be a big factor. Last time I talked
