    Thanks everyone! Sure hope he knows about that stuff ... I built our house side by side with my husband, but I never messed with the plumbing or electrical. All that I did was framing and finishing (tile work, staining and painting, etc.) So ... I'm kinda clueless. :facepalm:

    Thank you for the offer, Sandy. At this point, he "knows exactly what he's doing" and will not be open to input. Hopefully, I won't need to ask you for the info somewhere down the road. :unsure: Tritium, would those silicone wire heaters working on PVC plumbing or only metal? The vast majority...

    I have no idea. Didn't quiz him on it because the designs change too often. :laugh: Yup - so did I. And, she's more than just a tad right on that count. I want my home back!! That's how some of the homes that I checked out for Terry were done, I believe. But it's really rough on the...

    Oh, I agree with all of the above. The only problem is that he doesn't plan to put any duct work in because he doesn't plan to have a furnace. That would require some major overhauling if he finds that doesn't work out. :blink: I agree that you can heat a house with wood. I did it all last...

    Oh, I know you're right, Wuzz. We raised him to be very self-confident and gave him the tools and training to do most anything that he puts his mind to. I am staying out of his way. Sometimes I question things and point out alternatives, but I wouldn't give him a rough way to go no matter what...

    :lol: Pretty much. He had them going really well until they would get on the other side of a hill or mountain and they'd lose the signal. Then they would have to go hunt 'em down. He felt like a kid playing with RC planes. He was out at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.

    Oh wow! :ohmy: My late husband was involved with developing some of the first drones while he was in the Army back in the fifties. Jeesh. He had a lot of fun with them.

    Oh, I'm not selling him short. But - I know him. His youthful arrogance can get in the way of practicality. He has no actual experience with building any of these things, yet he's planning of building a home based on utilizing these features to power the whole thing. No furnace. No hookup to the...

    I'm going to tell him what you've said. BUT - he's 27 years old and thinks he's done enough research and knows it all. *sigh* Thank you for the input!

    Well okay, Voltville - Anyone up for a Kermit ride to the elk farm? I stitched together a couple of videos that I took yesterday along with some stills. In the video, when I focus the camera off to the side instead of the road, that's where the elk farm begins. It's a HUGE place and the elk have...

    Nope - it can't go up that fast because they are earning the money to build it as they go. It'll take some time even though they both have the same job and it pays well (for Indiana). I'm thinking that it won't be done until autumn of 2015, but I may be overly pessimistic. It isn't just the...

    Wow Lizzie - I always feel like such a slacker when I read what all you get done over the weekend! :ohmy: I'm impressed! Um ... by contrast, we got some turnips turned over that didn't make it because it was too wet this summer, and sowed more seed, BF put new spark plugs in Jeepers and used...

    Oh yeah - There's definite progress down at the build site: There will only be one window on the front because they are leaving room for adding an addition to the right side. Why mothers get gray hair

    Had a lovely evening last night. It was peaceful as can be. Nothing but cicadas and birds during the day in addition to nuts falling into the creek with loud PLOPs. After night fell, it was a cacophony of katydids, crickets, owls, coyotes, and elk bugling their hearts out along with the...

    :laugh: He told me that he was tempted to do just that. And trust me - he has plenty of camo duct tape. But .... he just has to fix everything! That's how he's built.

    :laugh: Now ya tell me! It looks as if those are mostly geared toward vehicles that are considered foreign here, but there may have been some other app that would cover any vehicle with an onboard computer like his device does. Dunno. The BF drives a Chevy truck that has a check engine light...
