Inspector, I already know that the frost line is 32" but I had planned on going 36" to be safe. We don't have a local inspector for our county so I am going to call the court house to find out where and if I need a building permit. Who ever they point me to should be able to give me the correct...

I want to put up a building with a wood floor 28' x 32' with 10' walls. I want to put in concrete post below the frost line (32"). How many do I need and what diameter should I use? I know this is kinda of vague but I am just starting to figure out what I have to do and how. :confused: Thanks...

I just wanted to say thanks for the replies and to let everyone know the problem has been fixed. It was the pressure regulator. I found another coupling before the regulator that I could not identify so I took it off along with the regulator and took it to wiseway plumbing. They informed me that...

Thanks for the input but I still have the problem. I will try to give a better description of it. The water pressure problem is the same through out the house. It is a manufactured double wide. Since it is the same problem for the whole house I had the water district check their incoming valve...

Thanks woodchuck I will try looking at the supports. As far as the clothes being out of balance on my washer it starts to spin and if they are out of balance it spins real slow so the clothes re-arange themselves and trys again. It will do this several times untill the load is balanced and then...

:eek: Our front load washer is about 2 years old and it worked fine. Then it was moved to the left about 3 to 4 feet so a water system could be put in. I leveled it front to back and diagnoal. When it starts to spin depending on how heavy the load is it will shake. With a heavy load it will...

After I posted this I remembered that the grass will rott unless you turn it and I did not think about the seeds that may sprout. I like the idea of the cardboard and think I will try that. I have lots of cardboard. Thanks for the responses

I know that grass clippings can be made into compost but I was wondering if I could put fresh grass clippings around my tomato plants to keep the weeds down. I know it gets hot as it starts to decay but would this hurt the tomatoes? Also would it cause any other problems? Thanks

Can anyone give me a way to get rid of moles in my yard? I have two acres and they seam to be all over.:(
