Most of what I read on this forum is wonderful testimonials of critical thinking and tenacity in solving the problems. But at some point, when you are willing to sink cash in to the
project , you want a little more certainty of the design because you don't want to have to redo it again and you are tired of 'playing' with the concepts.That is the choke point...At least in this county (Ventura,CA) it is really difficult to find that knowledge in someone who:
a. doesn't think you're nuts
b. isn't a flake
c. even knows what you are talking about when you want rain
water harvesting system of more than 55 gal barrels
I'm not alone in this...after talking with a Master Gardener, a former mayor of Camarillo, and a resource/ environmental Professor at the
local U...there is a real need for someone who can go to a site and
a. personalize the schematics and parts list to your locale
b. understands the So Calif water/weather pattern as well as the local muni and state codes.
c. can list the best tools for the job...whether it be the plans for a apt complex or a private residence.
d. and can figure out the actual labour/ hours needed to get the job done
Is there such a person?
