AC, It was great meeting you the other day and getting to see in my hands your homemade fusion tool. I am more inspired to build my own now. Maybe with my grandpa's metal lathe I can turn some socket attachments for my endevour.

Thank you for answering my many questions and for giving suggestions on how to install a geothermal system.

I found a deal on 2400 feet of 1" Geo pipe WITH ubends installed! It came to $270. There is only one section that has a kink in it that has to be spliced, but other than that they are still holding the factory air pressure. They are already in the back of my truck waiting for help to unload them!

One thing I am learning with this project is that it takes time to learn and even though the drilling machine came with a selection of bits, it was not the right bits for the conditions I have here. They may work in many places in the country, but here we have various obstacles.... rocks. Maybe after I get past the upper layer, it may get easier.

Thanks again!
