I had a guy about 4 years ago take down an old house and barn for me. He charged me I believe around $2000-2500 to do it (can't remember exactly) He demolished the buildings, burned and buried the remains - and saved me the rock from the fireplace for various projects. Now you can't tell...

"Could you put in some culverts and still cross the creek dry?" Not easily

Hi Guys, We've got a fairly large creek that runs thru our property that varies in width and depth depending on time of year. It has been dry lately so it is about 30 feet across and about 1 and 1/2 to 2 ft deep. Much of the year it is impassable due to rain. When I can I put gravel down...

Corn looks great in middle tennessee!

We have a old family graveyard on our property. My Great-great-great grandfather and grandmother, great,great grandfather and grandmother, and others in the family are buried there. The oldest gravestone is of a daughter that died at 21 in 1849. Starting with my great-grandfather they...

Update to my creek clogging predicament. Looks like these spring rains have unclogged things for me. Sometimes procrastination works! I might still get out there with a chain saw and clean things up a bit - but I'll have to wait until the creek level drops some more. At least I can cross...

I have a 18 inch poulan electric that I use around the house. It seems to have good power and I've cut down a tree with it that was about a foot diameter. It is definitely LOUD - kinda a loud high pitch whine that hurts my ears more than a gas model. Ear protection is a must. Can't remember...

I've used this to control plant growth around our creek crossing. After reading this review of it on Amazon I could not resist buying it. Holy Crap this thing is Awesome "I bought this thing while I was camping. Our firewood was a bit damp and I was having trouble getting the campfire...

I've got a problem with lots of logs and debris clogging up our creek that runs down the middle of our property. This time of year this creek turns into a river with all the winter rains that we have had - with it sometimes flooding over it's banks after a prolonged heavy rain. Usually I...

This winter I'm wearing BOGS that I got for Christmas. They are great in the mud and easy to take on and off.

Good advice so far. If your going to use it to exercise - might I recommend a bike computer as well. It's a great tool to see your distance and avg. speed. It makes the workout more fun for me since I compete against my best time.

We have a few pecan trees on our property and this year we hit the mother-lode (at least for us). After shelling about 30 lbs of pecans I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do it? I currently have one of these: It works pretty good but I'm starting to go crazy. I've got about 2 more...

We finally finished the project. We plan on staining the wood brown and doing some landscaping around it. We've got quite a bit of rock left so we'll see if we can do something else with it. Here's the pics: Here is a picture of the grate: Still have a few things to do but the...

I use one to get on and off the bed of my truck. I just keep it in the back of the truck for when I might need it - helps me reach items in the back too. I also use hiking poles when backpacking, otherwise I would have had to quit one of my favorite hobbies. I was diagnosed with arthritis...

I unfortunately don't have pictures of every step taken during our project. We did have the rock enclosure made a few months ago. Rock was put in place and mortared in. Posts were attached to rock. Hopefully we'll have most of the structure completed by next week. I won't be able...
