some sort of play-house. "Play-house" is probably the wrong word given that my eldest is 14 and the other two are 11 and 10 but you get the idea. I'm just wondering if anyone here has built something like this for their kids? Just like most anything else, I'm sure you can go from quite basic...

My wife woke me up this morning in tears as something killed 10 of our meat chickens. We had them in a Joel Salatin style tractor, although ours are 6 x 10, and whatever it was dug underneath and dragged them out into the field. One of them was dragged up the driveway, probably around 450 feet...

My wife and I purchased a home in January and I don't believe the septic tank has ever been pumped. How's that for a conversation starter? :dance1: In 2010 we purchased about 70 acres of vacant land where we have a small blueberry orchard and also make maple syrup. We gave consideration to...

Background: I have a 1981 International Hydro 84 tractor that was running hot this summer. I pulled the radiator, flushed the fins and took it in for a pressure check. Everything was fine and after checking with the dealer I replaced the coolant with distilled water with the idea of running...

My wife and I are wrestling with our next course of action in the following scenario and I figured I would throw it out there for all of you and ask for some feedback as I often read great posts on this forum. Here's the situation: We closed on a lovely piece of property last fall and have...

Last fall my wife and I closed on a piece of land that we absolutely fell in love with. Between the time we signed the purchase agreement and the closing we discovered that the former owner had planted approximately 250 blueberry bushes on the property. This got us thinking about expanding the...
