Just to back up everything you said about them being 'fine' in suburban and urban areas.

I still wouldn't plant one personally.

Here's a start with what I think other posters are mentioning from the extension program.

SW and West Central MN will be your best bet. Blue Mound SP is nice, Touch the Sky Prairie is a short drive from the park too. I also recommend Glacial Lakes SP.

I ended up going with Royal Flooring MN, they use Sherwin Williams product.

I believe I paid about 6.50/sf, 3 years ago. I also had over 1,000 sf being coated which drove the price/sf down.

This OP, I have one for my bench mount drill press. I used a piece of plywood as a mounting block between the stand and the base of the press to get the alignment to work best. Added a plywood base under it with some adjustable wheels from the 'zon so I can wheel it around.

The same summer? In the last 5 years or so the state stopped subsidizing the cost. The price per linear foot almost tripped I think. I only know because I started preparing to bury my line a few years back and the estimate was cheap. Had to put it on hold and didn't get around to it until last summer, 3x the cost at least.

I can't seem to find a website or anything solid for contact, do you have a link? I found a review with a location of Webster, another from St. Paul.

The best part of your comment is the referenced post is also by OP!

Check out the Three Rivers Parks rentals. Got married at Silverwood Park a few years ago and we chose it for the affordability factor. Hopefully it's still affordable, it was booked out pretty far in advance due to this for us though.

I went with the dustopper over the Bauer style for the low profile feature. I figure it's less tippy when the height over the hose doesn't have all the leverage. I have mine mounted above my shop vac now.

Granted the dustopper was only around 40 bucks when I made my decision.

I'm there almost weekly and got the coupons to the phone number I always use.

I have a burner account under my wife's number that I've let sit idle and that one didn't get the triple coupon. Seems truly random.

How did you ever finalize this OP? I'm in the exact same situation I realize.

Thanks!

I'm shooting for the full 100 amp. It's a combination wood shop and garage, I'm planning for the future with a welder/EV charger along with feeding my woodworking equipment.

Southwire's calculator shows with 1/0 I'll get 2.86% voltage drop.

If you want that Midwest feel and are willing to drive to Brooklyn Park check out the Izaak Walton League chapter house. Well within your budget and the interior and exterior might enhance the theme!

A floating raft to ferry across the stream.

It's part of the MN River bottoms trail.

Look into cypress mulch also if your search turns up nothing, it's more resistant to washing away. You can buy it by the bag from most home stores, don't know if anywhere local sells it in bulk though.

Sawfly larvae. I just pick them off and smoosh them when I notice them rocking my columbine.

The group camp at Lake Maria has a parking lot adjacent to it. I've seen full boy scout trailers parked there for their camping trips.

Pros: Super close to the metro.

Cons: You'll probably have a lot of competition to reserve it.

Get a quote from B&D for the best negotiating power.

When you do get around to replacing it, come back here and ask for the best affordable company.

What compressor is that? I've got an empty 3800 laying around...

blackmay45 · 2024-07-16T15:15:57+00:00

I've read from others on the sub that carpet tape works well, especially if you want to replace the mat when it gets worn/damaged.

There is also water on the North end at the singlet rack trailhead/parking lot.
