If you are burying all that wiring you may want to consider putting it all in a conduit. That way if you ever need to replace or add wires you won't have to dig things up, just pull things through. Building projects!

Make the original conduit a bit oversized because adding a wire in a tight conduit is really tough. The electricians/telecom guys have to put a special grease on the wires to pull them through and even then they sweat a lot. If you haven't already done it, consider putting in fiber optic cable so you will be ready for 5G speeds. If you don't feel you need it yet, have the cable in the pipe, ready to hook up when the time comes.

Some good suggestions. The only wire that is buried so far is the power line for the well pump. It is in a conduit.

BTW, RJ, we are quite lucky to have the weather we do have here. When the pool is finished we won't have to "close" it in the Winter. We will have a thermostat on the pool pump that kicks on if the air temp gets to around 34F to keep the water circulating through the pipes. It never stays below freezing long enough here to have the pool water freeze as long as we keep it moving.

In other words, you can have those blood sucking mosquitoes all year long.

Build a sauna, then jump into the pool. Although it won't quite be the same as jumping into a cold, frozen lake.

Used to do that on Bad Medicine Lake in Minnesota near (Itasca Headwaters of the Mississippi). We camped near a resort and used their sauna then jump into the lake. A bunch of steaming guys diving into the lake at night. It was great. quite a few Finns in Northern Minnesota. And Swedes And Norski's. And Icelandics. This area is lousy with Scandinavians. Oufta! Out number us Czechs, Poles and Germans

A lot of Ukrainians in Southern Manitoba. Onion dome churches all over the place.

I have read where NE Minnesota looks a lot like country of Finland in Northern Europe. A lot of people from Finland also settled in Thunder bay, Ontario in Big Canada Land. But Finns could be either from the Finn tribe or from what we call the country of Finland - even if they are not true Finns.

The Headwaters of the Mississippi is the outlet from Itasca Lake in Itasca Lake State Park in Minnesota. You can normally wade across the Mississippi there since it is usually only ankle deep there. Then go to New Orleans and tell people that you waded across the Mississippi.

The Mississippi is about 70 million years old, the Missouri is only about 2 million years old.

Yes, I do know how dumb/stupid fins are.

We took our scout group down to camp near Itaska and went to visit the outlet from the lake which is the official start of the Mississippi River. There were a couple of strategically placed stones there so we crossed the Mississippi without getting our feet wet.

BTW - Finns are not stupid - just hardy. The shock of going from hot to cold is good for the young circulatory system, but not recommended for old farts who have neglected their aerobics and fat-free diets.

That's cool about crossing the Mississippi

You got it wrong, fins not Finns.

I don't have to worry about fat free diets, they are not good for people plus I need to raise my cholesterol!

Except Orm of course.

His morning is already departed.

So I hope that the rest of his day is a good day.

No splinters on my feet but I did get one in my bum as a child which required a trip to the emergency room. I think that it was a long, wide board from a tamarack tree. Nice big splinters.

I have a back scratcher with a telescoping handle. I also have one of those nylon bath "sponges" on a handle.

You are welcome. I am sorry that I don't have pictures of when that splinter was in my bum.

Another thing to note is that my BS level is normal today, so no extra BS to get rid of.

Yes, inflammation can raise the blood sugars. Take an anti-inflammatory if allowed, drink green tea with a half or a whole teaspoon of cinnamon. Be careful of lots of cinnamon if it is not Ceylon cinnamon since the cheap Chinese cinnamon has coumarin in it. Let it steep for a few minutes first. You can also use black tea or coffee as well.
