Siding equipment (pump jack system)F/S or trade for reef equipment

[jgleach]

After getting various bids to install new siding on my house, I decided to save a ton of money and do it myself. I will finally be finished today or tomorrow....WOOHOO! If there's anybody out there thinking of doing the same, I've got a barely used pump jack system that I bought for this project that I'd like to sell or possibly trade for comparably valued reef equipment. Here's what I've got:
(3) Qual-Craft 2200Q Pump Jacks
(3) Qual-Craft 2201Q Pump Jack Braces
(3) Qual-Craft 2210 Pole Anchors

top 3 items on this page

(3) 20' poles constructed from 10' 2x4s
(2) sets of 12' aluminum plank edge supports
(2) 12' 2x10 planks

This system allowed me to lift my 260 lb fat butt high enough to side my 2 story house....with peaks of 26' and it spans 24' total side to side.

The system cost me over $500 total at Menards. I'd like to sell it for $350 or trade for high end reef equipment. (I never know what I'd be interested in until it's offered)

I can't believe I'm the only one crazy enough to attempt DIY stuff like this......and I REALLY can't believe nobody out there is giving me a hard time about this post.....

I decided to side it with white dutchlap vinyl. It REALLY needed it, and I saved almost $5000 doing it myself.

WOW! That looks alot better. I guess you can add another accomplishment to your resume. I dont know if I would try the siding myself, I have seen the pros do por jobs. I am in the middle of a project installing a stone front porch, it is very slow going. Mostly due to lack of motivation on my part.

That's the beauty of DIY....you work at your own pace. I started this siding job back in early June...every 5 weeks, I have a 7 day weekend and I take a couple days and do one side.

You need to install a few bulkheads, maybe route the drainage to a remote fuge feeding a koi pond....

Nice work there.!!

Believe it or not, that was part of the original blueprint.....it got scrapped when the inspector INSISTED on a fence around the pond....the nerve....

What inspector? You don't need no stinking inspector. How big was the pond you were going to build?
