    Problem is I don't have the cash or credit to pay 5-6k. Unless I don't do other things like walls etc. Gonna have to sit down on my budget and figure things out.

    That was not fun. Hope I pass on wed so I can start real construction. No idea what to do about insulation. 5-6k is outside my budget. May have to do walls now and roof later

    They say here that heat is an issue with lines in conduit. Like you, I always thought it was better that way. Especially in my yard. I have a gazillion tiny moles.
