    Is that an ABOVE ground pressure tank????? And exposed plumbing?????? God, even if I lived in the Sahara desert I dont think I could bring myself to allow that. Bare minimum it would need to have a very well insulated well house built around it.

    Lol.

    It gets walled in. But we live in the Sonoran Desert. Don't need no stinking insulation.

    When I moved here a year ago I couldn't believe the frost line is 12 inches. Where I hail from it was 4 feet.

    Probably stuco... Made to look like adobe. I doubt adobe would pass building code anywhere in the country today.

    That story may not be the whole picture. What you observed is just another portion of the picture.

    Noticed an article recently that, nationally, warehousing is at max capacity with not enough supply in the works to meet growing demand. Almost no empty space in most markets.

    My semi sarcastic questions,for which I do not expect answers: How much of that merchandise you made note of is just wasting space cause the general population doesn't want it? Should we just landfill most of it? Can we as a nation cut our losses and just ship it back to the originator?

    I hope the warehousing folks bankrupt their clients with storage fees so we can get past this crap and move on.

    I hope the answer to the next one is NO! Are we to the point that we need to ration imports to just essential products?
