    Anyone know anything about Buffalo Lake

    Water is pretty good quality. Sand bottom, shallow around the edges, not sure about the centre. Large lake though so lots of room even with lots of boats.

    info on the Big Horn Dam area

    Screw piles versus conventional

    Depends on the design, Almita Mfg screw piles act like a screw and do not disturb the soil, whereas many other manufacturers screw piles auger into the ground therefore loosening the surrounding soil. My company does the galvanizing for Almita and I know their engineers.

    Post pics of your house build

    You might overload it. I suggest running 2" piping away from the house. This should work with a 3/4 HP pump and handle the volume of water that can be pumped without to much head pressure.

    Post pics of your house build

    Your lot grade looks a lot like mine. I have a walkout bungalow in Boag Lake Estates (East of Sherwood Park) and in order for my basement to walkout, the contractor had to create a "bowl" with an external sump pit and pump. I quickly found out that in a heavy rainfall, a lot of water pours...

    surround sound to 42" plasma

    Best solution is HDMI from Shaw Box to Receiver, then HDMI from Receiver to TV. This way you get digital quality music through your surround speakers and HD video from your TV. You need a HD Box from Shaw though.
