<div dir="ltr"><div>I have done my share of "temporary" installations that may have been a little shaky as is common for old school farmers but my general plan most of my life has been to do things "code +" or to be more technical, "Hell for stout"... 😀</div><div>I do find myself being less concerned these days about making sure that what I do will last 100 years. I'm still optimistic enough to pretend that I still need a 5 year plan but my old concept of a 20 year plan doesn't carry a lot of weight.</div><div>There are several reasons for that. The first is pretty obvious, one of those other reasons is that the farm I put my blood, sweat and tears in since 1951, which was a couple of miles out in the country is now only about a quarter mile across a creek from a rapidly moving city limits... Land around me that I grew up farming either as rented land or as custom work is now infested with houses... The chances of this place falling victim to the bulldozers just keeps increasing. In recent years the words "eminent domain" are getting tossed around more and more freely.
