We had water treatment company come in and give us a recommendation. Looks like we will be putting in a sediment filter, iron extraction system, and a softener / neutralizer. Its will run around $3200! Our yearly softening salt and filter replacements will run us around $150/yr. You never realize how expensive and precious clean water is until you have to put out big bucks to get a system installed. We will be getting the new system installed in 1 week.
On a more fun note, I bought a small band saw from Home Depot (thanks to my daughter and son-in-law for some gift money which helped to defer the costs). Its not a big bandsaw (9 inch throat with 3.5 inch depth), but it is good for the types of projects I work on. It will be nice to have a saw that will allow me to make precision cuts very quickly! I also bought a small hatchet to help with roughing out large pieces of wood. The blade needs to brought to a keen edge. I'll be setting up the saw this weekend.
Tomorrow I will attempt to row my second marathon for this season (26.2 miles or 42,195 meters). Wish me luck.

Good luck, Papa!! I know you will will finish that marathon easily. I can barely get through 6,000 M. (Wimp)
I really wish I brought you to our Harbor Freight. They just put on this hug blow out sale. I'm sure they will do it july 4th as well- seems to happen every two months or so... When you come up again, we'll take a look-see at what they have up for grabs. I think they had a portable band saw for $75. I already have a few things in mind that I 'need'!
