I'd probably keep it inside just to extend the life. If you can't fit it in the laundry room, the crawl space wouldn't be a horrible spot I don't think. I don't think its a noisy pump, but you...

Nice work Ben. Looks like you are going to get yours all setup before winter. I don't think I'm going to be able to get mine done in time unfortunately.

Woo, nice to see more progress.

You should be able to get away with a small bag of mortar mix to fix the pipe in the wall. Be careful when you mix water in to not get it too wet. Add the water...

Concrete will always absorb moisture and keep your wood damp. Having it out of the ground is most ideal. I wanted to do this but convenience got in my way. I'm sure its not a huge deal either way,...

I mean just pour the concrete in the ground and put the bracket on top then bolt the wood to that. You don't need a concrete post sticking out of the ground or anything. Xringer posted this image...

If you're worried about rotting wood, it was suggested to me to put metal in the concrete and then bolt wood to that bracket. That keeps the wood out of the the ground and away from the water.

I think thats the rule when you're putting something large up into the air. However, for your relatively short ground mount you could probably get away with an 8" auger which will make a slightly...

For digging the post holes, you can just get as close as you can with the powered digger and then just use a manual post hole digger to 'slot' the hole a bit. We had to do this with my 3 middle...

With a closed loop system I'd aim for the upper end of the spectrum if you can easily enough find a pump that gets you there. From reviews I've read, people have said you can't run that harbor...

Yeah, copper is really expensive unfortunately. I just looked it up, 100ft of 1/2" pex (I don't think you'd need 3/4" for your one fairly large panel) is a whopping ~$25. For that price I think its...

Going to replace them with some pex adapter or what?
