Supposedly you can still get incentives from the Gov't up to about 30%. And the general concensus is a geothermal system runs about 6k more expensive per ton than a normal heating system. So I mean it's definitely worth it in my mind. My parents are actually thinking about replacing our furnance, and I might have them convinced to get a couple estimates from some geothermal people to give them some qoutes. My boss just had one done on his ski house in NY a couple years ago and he raves about it. He pays almost nothing to heat and cool his house year round. So I'm gonna have the guy that helped him come and give an estimate as well. M

sunday sounds good to me. I could probably do the normal 2pm if everyone is interested. Or I could do a 9-10amish and just skip rowing and go in the afternoon

Anyone interested in meeting up at the Ridge this weekend. I really wanna try and get my rifle scoped in, and I might do some archery as well, but wouldn't mind doing some shooting with everyone else. Let me know if your around M

yeah but Chad thought ahead and put in a geothermal system so that he'll be paying barely anything for his heating and cooling bills :roll:

:shock: you sir got ripped off lol, and come on, when it turns green is when its the best. And things in architecture are starting to go backwards again. Your going to start seeing older style stuff more prominent than what you are seeing now. It's a constant cycle. But your not the only person I've met that doesn't like copper so don't worry.

WOW real wood. No way, I can't believe you actually found someone. Sounds like it from the materials your using, your doing it right. Nice job Chad. The front isn't bad, its actually not bad at all, I just would of done some things differently. Like I would of used Copper on those window awnings instead of the black sheet metal, but that could of been something cut because of price so who knows. And see painting is my least favorite even though when you start to paint you know its getting close. My favorite part though is sheetrocking because thats when you actually start to see spaces and the bulk of the work is done. I totally should of done construction management instead of architecture, I belong in the freaking field, not behind a desk buh. And since your spending all of this money, that means you have money, I want you to go find a really old house, and then hire me to do the architectural work to restore it, dream job right there!

coming along chad, your getting there man!!! Still not crazy about the front, I would of done some stuff differently, but not knowing what you had to start with I can't comment but it definitely doesn't look bad. And stone work is fantastically fun stuff, but that cultured stone is easy stuff. I'm sure those guys moved at lighting speed putting that stuff up. To them, its easier than a puzzle because the mortar allows them to cheat And yes they can make trim go around everything these days b/c its all made of plastic ICK Call me an old timer, but man, I don't like any of this plastic crap they have out these days. It's great because of exactly what you said, it makes it easier and quicker to get it done. But there is NOTHING like walking into an old federal style house and just gazing at all that craftsmanship and saying to yourself, man, some guy actually made that with his own two hands. You don't even really see nice stairs anymore. It's a shame that the price of labor has deterred stuff like that. Tis is why I want to restore the house I plan on living in. I don't want any of this new stuff. But good luck with the new place, definitely looks like you guys are going to enjoy it. When everything is brandie new makes life so enjoyable. And keep taking pictures, I love following construction sites

Whats the differences between .45 acp and 10mm. Whats the pro's and con's of both. Would a 10mm be a wise idea as a carry weapon. Just looking at the pictures the 10mm is a longer casing but thats as far as I can tell figured i'd ask you more experienced guys who have shot both. Thanks M

HAHA ahh come on, I know you went home and tried out that stance. You thought it was SEXY!! I can't wait to be able to actually practice on a regular basis with a real gun as opposed to that damn Kahr.

Thats a possibility Tim. I get out of class by 6:30 could be down there around 7:30ish -8 hmmmmmmm

WAIT WHATS THURSDAY NIGHT!!!!!!

or you could be like me and just have a really bad shot. I think I actually heard Tim chuckle when he saw me shoot

I feel so jipped. Everyone went shooting tonight, and I'm still sitting in studio doing work. BUH I guess this is what they call putting your time in....... still not fair!! glad to hear you guys had fun once again.

someone posted a picture of a guys leg that got hit with a .223 I believe it was on this website but I could be mistaken. does anyone remember?

I actually got one today, they had one at Cheyenne I picked it up and it felt great so I bought it $750 bucks then the dream ended and I realized I didnt leave my house today BEACHES! Tiny you really should look into them if you wanna get a 1911 or another 1911. I've heard nothing but great things about them. I'm contemplating placing an order for one as I want it badly. How much are they? Im a brokester... you can get a cbob for about 1100 sent to your ffl You can get pointman 7's for under a grand I believe

negative, you can only use a bead with little ole birdies

Tim think we could get a group deal from someone if we buy a valor and a CBOB And oh man!!!! I wish you would of posted the cbob on here before you traded it in, I totally would of nabbed it in a heart beat. Kinda sounds like I can't make a bad decision going with the CBOB. Now to see if I can find it locally or try and get it online. Dave Severns who does a lot of 1911 customizations qouted me 1060 plus 30 shipped to my ffl seems a little high to me, but he has them in stock so I dunno. ok back to you tiny sorry bout highjacking your thread. oh one more thing, how did you like carrying the cbob as a carry gun, fit nice, better than some others, how's the size etc?

Yes you can hunt with a shottie but it must have either adjustable sights or a scope of some sort. You can shoot either rifled slugs or sabot slugs and I believe any buckshot not smaller than #4 I wanna say. And no you may not sell meat

I will refrain from making a comment, I sure hope its either a boy or a girl. But thats cool a lot of people these days seem to let it be a surprise, kinda fun. And it looks like you guys are moving along quite well. I'd like to see pictures when its finished, I'm a little sketchy on that front elevation so it'll be interesting to see how it finishes off. GL construction projects are those type of things that just when you think your going to finish on time, boom, you don't

My momma never went to Dr.'s appointments, oh wait, that might explain some stuff And new toys no, I sold the Kahr finally, and now I am just saving for the DW. But its sorta been put on hold b/c I'm trying to buy a car so we'll see. How's the construction going at the car wash?? And nice, 2 months, counting the days, do you guys know what your having?

YAYYYYY he's still alive, so I can still pick on him But seriously, glad to hear everything is ok minus being totally swamped and not being able to shoot. When's the baby due?

Dan Wesson is my favorite non semi custom. I am intimately familiar with them. It is hand fit rather well (better than all other production line guns) and does include many good parts. I like the Dan Wesson Valor best as it has a forged frame and it comes in my favorite color for a gun (just my preferences coming out - others may prefer something else). Not that cast frames are bad or anything - it is personal preference. I also like the Kimber Warrior and Springfield loaded models if you don't mind MIM parts. Hope this helps - and we should apologize to Tiny for thread jacking. WHOA someone else in NJ that owns a DW I can't believe it haha I know you said you own the Valor, do you happen to own any others? I saw the Valor thats a nice gun, but a little pricey for me. What I also like about the CBOB is, it was sorta designed for concealed carry as well. Have you happened to handle either the CBOB or the pointman 7 or the rz-45?? And sorry tiny for jacking your thread, but look at all this good info were putting out

1911fan, you ever get your paws on a Dan Wesson. I've been leaning towards them as my next purchase as its a 1911 in my price range and its not a "off the shelf" 1911 as they do incorporate some Ed Brown parts etc. into them. I'm looking into a CBOB which I would ultimately like to use as a carry gun in the future. M

yeah I'm still doing my shopping around actually. I've only bought the full camo insulated jumpsuit from dicks for 79 bucks which i was decently happy with. I do have to check out walmart see if they got a hunter orange vest b/c the last place I was at wanted 50 and I wasn't paying that much. What I still need to buy: Boots Light camo clothing for the rest of fall A decent pair of gloves A thermal style face mask for when it starts to get colder And a set of thermals both shirt and pants They do make a set of thermals that are scent blocker I'm kinda thinking I might go that route, but damn is it expensive but everyone I talk to say that the scent blocker stuff is amazing.
