    Building a New Deck

    Finally after about a year of agonizing over it I have started my deck. It will be 28' 6" wide and 16' deep. I am using 2" X 6" pressure treated lumber for the framing and Trex for the deck and railing. I ordered the Trex on Saturday (should be here in about a week).

    New addition to the Family

    Finally picked up my BX2230 today! As soon as I got it off the trailer I put it straight to work. I was able to move about 10 yards of soil in 2 hours. I must say that it has exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all of you who replied to my posts on the buying/pricing board.

Everyday I check my cell phone to see if I missed the call, but alas nothing. Until then I guess I will...

    Since i'm waiting for my new toy....err I mean work tractor, I think i'm going to build a shed for it and my log splitter. What is the overall length of the 2230 with a FEL & Box Scraper (or other similar implement)? I'd hate to build the thing to small, not to mention the ridicule I'd get from...
