Well, the wife and I got the foundation for the tractor barn laid out, leveled, and the treated timber in place yesterday and I called for the building to be delivered/erected. The forestry guy called. He had another contract that the guy could not fund, so he starts our fence rows and the de-stumping of the range tomorrow with the dozer. De-stumping the range will give him the place to build piles and burn. He is still working the cleanup of the old pond and the digging of the new pond numbers. I will call the fence erectors tomorrow. See if they want to tackle the three rail ribbon fence. Its a polymer 5.25 inch rail with three strands of high tinsel wire in each rail. You put up two stout end posts (6-8 round 10 ft) and stretch the fence between using ratchet spindles. The field or line posts just hold the fence in place and can be spaced 14 ft apart. We are coming along nicely for two old folks with ailments. Paul, did you install the solar panels yourself? I am thinking of a solar pump for a new well to keep the ponds full, seapage, evaporation, etc. I am not much with electricity so am a bit reluctant to just order the pump and 8 panels it will take to run it.

The solar pumps as listed, I understand to be DC. Paul, A question, how difficult is it to drum up 110V with a set of panels and an inverter? Would the inverter burn up a shallow well 110/220 1 1/2 hp pump or would it cut off clean when the source power dropped below that needed to produce 110V. If I can run a 1.5hp pump. I can get 50 GPM at 35-40 PSI. I am trying to run this operation without outside electric power, by wire. Best, Ed |
