Built a Pole Barn 6 years ago, uninsulated, concrete floor, 40x72 fourteen-foot walls. Two twelve-foot doors and one ten. Keep a wheel-house (icefishing), tractor, RTV and trailers inside. Boats in the winter. I read on a thread here once, that you will pay for a pole barn whether you have...

We've got 70 acres, abutting to our 1.5 acre house lot. The 70 acres is used primarily for hunting. 30 acres of grass, half of that, bluestem. 3-acre and 1-acre food plots and 1/2-acre garden. 25 acres wooded, with a 10-acre pond in the middle of the woods. We spend pretty much each...

Bought my first 60 acres of hunting land, just referred to it as the "hunting land", then bought 40 acres north, called it the "North 40", bought 30 acres east of the 40, and called it...... the "EAST30".

Yes it is, with enormous amounts of natural gas.

I was a UTV novice 6 years ago. It takes a bit to learn how to drive them. I looked at all makes, and then bought my 1100c. I too like many at first, perplexed by shifting and speed, at times. Once I started to listen to it, in high and low, and understand the hydro transmission it became...

I have double doors in the front of my newer home. Absolutely love them. Especially for moving furniture in, and the aesthetics from the road on a larger build. It's in northern Minnesota, and don't notice any colder floors than a single door.

Finished my retirement build 18 months ago, fully contracted out. Just showed up on weekends to check on work. North central MN. We had owned the land for years prior. Fully insulated poured concrete and conditioned crawl space, 4 feet high. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths. Single...

HA! So true, I have three doors on my 40x72 pole barn. All on the non-gable side. It's the only way it would work, without a lot of extra excavation work. If I were to do it again, I would have done it differently, knowing what I know. But never having a steel roof and new to pole barns...

I felt the same way a few years ago, spending $23k for my x1100c, with a set of tracks. Couldn't believe I was spending that much money on a UTV. I wondered what was wrong with me. I'd never owned one of any kind prior. Within a couple of months, I knew it was money well spent. As of...

Most do not. I live in the city and spend the weekends "up north". None of the city slickers have them, but a few of my northern neighbors do. I help people up there with my tractor whenever they ask and can find the time. Weekends are pretty short. Those jobs usually turn into a...

Great story! and good on you. Another of those bands where I sadly say "Wish I would have seen them live".

Dan McCafferty, singer of Nazareth just passed away. Hair of the Dog was such a great album. Played that vinyl over and over for years.

How much damage can, or do, chains cause to an asphalt driveway?

Living in Minnesota. I buy a new vehicle about every four years for my wife and me. She gets the new truck and I take her four-year-old truck. So, we keep them for 8 years with about 150k-170k miles on them. No undercoat and have never had a rust problem on them. Been doing this for 30...

Thanks Moss. They don't ship, but now thinking about it. Found it on Amazon, but you have to buy in bulk. Found it on their own website, but $20 to ship for $5 cheese. Not the same stuff I grew up with but..... Will look locally first. If I order it, I'll report back after a taste...
