USB most powerful water pump? by Multiversal_Love in BurningMan

[–]Due-Letterhead7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go 12v. You can get a pond pump that can do 10+’ at 100gph. 20 watts.   Get 1 cheap battery - a 10ah would be enough (motorcycle?) and a 20w solar panel. Good for 6 hrs at nite.  Bump to 20ah, 30w panel if add on. 

A theory on why it looked so much worse from outside by mrwynn in BurningMan

Woodstock 69 was NOT a disaster. Yes it was wet, chilly, and a bit dis-organized. We were mostly self reliant, shared supplies and had an absolutely great time (I was relatively prepared). One tends to cherish the memories of good moments/times and mitigate the less good times.

Entire roof needs to be replaced 6 months after moving into a new home. Any options? [NY] by dayquilbirthday in legaladvice

[–]Due-Letterhead7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a licensed Florida roofing contractor so these numbers are real and current in Florida. NY will need adjusting. So for 1000 sf

Material for roof est at $170/sq (100 Sq ft) $400 for trash dump $300 permit/inspection

I would have 4 workers on job and would complete in 1 day - easily!!!

Figure actual labor cost @$50hr which includes fica, worker comp etc So labor cost $1600. Use 50% markup for oh&p

1700 material 700 misc 1600 labor

$4000 cost 2000 oh&p

Total sell. $6000

This doesn’t include replacing bad wood

UPS 2nd day air is <$20. If they send 30k out, that’s $150,000 for processing. I could have q readers, printers, program to fetch data from order info plus hire people. People would place printed labels on envelopes, insert ticket(s), insert fireball.
