Only a 1/2" here.Alot? Yeah, I think so. At 4 this afternoon I got one inch of rain in 10 minutes. Only good thing is that it didn't last longer than 10 minutes.

I think the problem I've had with them (tank mounted carb) in the past, is more about the tank, gasket, and the suck tube screen.Briggs wasn't a real carb, but they work just great. More like a early FI system or a model A/C 'pumper' carb. At least the valve train was steel.
Built that dock 30 years ago from greated lumber. 2x6x10 stringers and end plates with a 2x4 down the center. 1 inch treated for the top surface. Stanchions were designed around free stuff. Legs are 1-1/2 rigid conduit that a place near me had left over from a job. They were paid for by the job so said I could have them. Angle iron saddles was another job leftover from a friend's commercial contracting business as was the rebar cross braces. The conduit is showing it's age. Had to repair 5 of the stanchions this year. Have decided to repair the other 9 at the end of the season.What did you use for the dock? Daughter has to top one but only ~20'. Built from steel roof girders, bout 4' wide. Looked at fake wood but $.
OOH WELL THATS JUST NOT RIGHT!!!Had a big Morel Hall this morning. The son and I went out before school. 27 of them .Wife strung them on the porch to dry some out. Hung them about a foot above the banister.
I got up today, and something had pulled all of them off the string, and hauled them off.
There are better ways. I tend to take an 8" square of drywall and peel off the paper, then crush it up in the wheelbarrow. Mix in about 5 gallons of black dirt (composted cow manure and feedlot scrapings) or rabbit manure. Dig the holes for the transplants with a posthole digger, about as deep as the plant is tall. Put in ~6" of mix from the wheelbarrow, then drop in the plant and backfill the hole from the wheelbarrow. Soak it down good. Royal PITA, but per-plant yields made it worth it.Anyone try placing Epsom Salts in the bottom of the hole you plant your tomatoes in? I hear it prevents blossom end rot.
TREX and similar brands specify 16" on center for support joists. Many decks used to be built 24" on center and the TREX would look more like over-cooked linguini. You say that the pier is in. I assume you poured a pier out in the water and the dock will span a 20' distance from the shore to the pier. Hence the use of steel roof rafters. You also said it was going to be 4' wide. I'd run two more lengths of rafters between the 4 foot width for that 20 foot span. That would give you 16 inch centers. Then you could run the TREX. Nice thing about the TREX is no splinters, slivers or maintenance. Pressure wash it if mildew forms. And get a light color. Dark colors will BBQ your bare feet.1 inch treated for the top surface. That sounds good. Pier is in, needs top added. The plastic/wood is pretty pricy and I wondered how strong it would be under load of a few adults walking on it. IIRC the load span is about 3 ft.
Every year I had a good Morrell hall about this time too! However over the past 3 yeas we have been having a water run off problem in that area and everything "morrell" wise disapperead!Had a big Morel Hall this morning. The son and I went out before school. 27 of them .Wife strung them on the porch to dry out, for storage in jars. Hung them about a foot above the banister.
