Already planning on running the line right to the road so it will be easy hook up down the road. Really it is only a matter of time so I might as well be prepared and not have to dig up my yard later. Hmm good to know, by small yard tractor how small are we talking? I was planning on using my...

Might help to know that the plan is for maple trees around the perimeter of the property and honey suckle elsewhere. Possible a grove of quaking aspen but that will be in the front yard. Then grass for the rest of the yard aside from the patio and splash pad which may be close to the tank and field.

Yes and no. They have a garage and were using the carport for their suv keeping grandmas car in the garage. When my grandpa passed she sold the suv and didn't need the carport anyways.

Rural community and both lots were owned by my grandparents. When it sold (to my cousins) they had to have a minimum abount of frontage so it got squeaked over about 5ft. May have been like that all along and nobody cared as the lot was just being used for farming or grandmas garden. Farming...

My grandma had one for years. Worked great, never had any isues even with out snow load and wind ratings. Only reason it was taken down was because the lot next to her was sold and property line moved to right down the middle of the thing.

The other thread got me thinking, what do I need to watch for while landscaping? We will be moving in soon (hopefully) and have a septic system. It may not be in use long as the city/county is trying to push for sewer system. Anyways. While doing a sprinkler system, planting trees, putting in...

Bwahahahahaha :lol_hitti:willy_nil:eyecrazy: get a porsche :lol_hitti Maybe for my wife ha ha ha! All in good fun. I respect Porsche, but not my taste and after my VW experience I will have a hard time trusting any German engineering for a very long time. Maybe one day. I grew up loving Ferrari...

Uh..... Yes, yes, and that will wait till I build a shop. For storage I'll be putting racks above the garage doors for all the stuff we have in totes (holiday decorations, etc) Then I'll have some cabinets/lockers by the door to the house for shoes, coats, snow gear. Snap on box for tools...

Correct Department of Ag. I'm not positive of the amount cap, I think that varies by area. I know they limit income also, for example in our area you can't break 70K in income or you won't qualify for the program. Also it does have to be considered rural. We are technically in the county...

Smoke detectors are the same way. Should both be replaced at 10 years, a lot will have a date of manufacture on them on the bottom or inside the battery door.

Usually a sign that the batteries are dead or gettng close. Some of them have a diagnostic system that will do that if there is a problem with them also. There should be lights that flash a certain amount of times for certain problems, look at your owners manual for all that info. But I would...

More progress yesterday. Don't mind the construction dust. Master bath marble work around tub and shower. The color looks lighter than it is because it needs to be cleaned, but you get the idea. So now we are looking at finish electrical, finish plumbing, wood floors, carpet, final concrete...

Correct it is a furnace. We have a full basement that won't be finished for a few years so radiant heat wasn't the best option. After we finish the basement we will be putting in a wood stove also for heat in the event of a power outage. Plus in our area, radiant heat isn't used too much so it...

Awesome, exterior is done! I'll get pics of sides and back when I go back again. Garage doors and openers in:thumbup: Not so sure about the safety sensor wiring on this one :dunno: I might have to take that up with my builder. Also cabinets are almost done. Paint is done. Master bath...

Stopped by this morning to find that the tile was all layed:rocker: Also all the mud and tape is done, so is the texturing. Need to get the shelves intalled in closets and pantry then paint. Laundry/mud room Kids bathroom front entry master bath

So I stopped by this morning to see progress, mud and tape are done just need to be sanded. Also looks like they brought in a skid steer and compactor to get final grading done. But the important part is that a neighbor, down the road a bit, in one of the more modest homes in the area had his...

I'm here :rocker: Nice work, some cool projects there. :3gears:

So I have been trying to come up with a name for the garage (we all should have a name for our garages yes?) I decided on the Caddy Shack, because it will house my 1970 fleetwood brougham assuming it fits.........

Helicopter landing pad :lol_hitti Looks good, I couldn't help but notice the Klim and Polaris posters. You have great taste.

Wow, lots of work got done this week. Brick work is done, roof is done. Drywall is all hung and mostly mud and taped, that should be done today or tomorrow. Hopefully the painters are lined up for next week. Garage pics first. Living room/kitchen area. Front door looking through the...
