I've only seeded about 2 acres of it for yard. So right now I have a meager riding mower. The remaining acreage is either farmed, water, or forest, so that helps. I would like to seed more, but I decided that doing so will be contingent on acompact tractor or something more durable, and a...

Sooooooo, I introduced myself in the introduction board. I'll spare you the repetition. and I am now starting a thread for this. It's going to be slow going at first. And I am going to bore you all with the most useless real pic and a bunch of approximations in sketchup to give a vague idea...

I have fallen in love with the area (if that ain't to cheesy to say). We are actually right on the line of Mount Vernon and Centerburg, my properly line where the drive way enters is right where Mount Vernon ends and Centerburg begins. We're actually Centerburg schools, and I really like the...

DOH! I think it actually says "remember me" and for some reason that really didn't click beforehand, and it REALLY should have. I guess I just was feeling "speshall" Thanks for all of the welcoming guys. I look forward to using this place as a resource. Lord knows I need all the knowledge I...

Not a bad idea. I was planning to run wiring through the studs granted, but pipe is fairly cheap, and it's nice to "future proof" it. As for plumbing - I like the idea, but I suppose I have to figure out how deep to put this given freezing concerns. Frost depth around here is 32" to be exact...

Cool, updated the profile. I'll try to get around to some pics and what not. Got a busy couple weeks ahead, and then hopefully things will start moving. I haven't decided when the slab will go down, but I at least got a quote for concrete. A little under $1100 for 10 cubic yards of 4k psi...

I gathered! I am up in Mount Vernon. I actually am also planning a detached garage in a couple years. But for now the focus is ALL on the attached garage. Not having a garage these passed 2 winters has been quite brutal.

Somehow, I figured joining would be further confirmation of being ready to get moving. For a rather lengthy background! Almost 3 years ago, I purchased 11 acres out in the country. I had grown up a suburban boy, but had always loved being more remote. At the time I was in the midst of...
