My wife drives a 2024 EcoBoost Mustang. I got the 2016 GT350 June 24, and just picked up the GT500 Ragtop in Feb so I need to change the nick name of my place to The Mustang Ranch!!! 😜

I may already have too many toys... LOL

Hey Eddie! The issue is the tractor does to many things I just don't need and it's too big... Mostly. The skid steer will do MUCH better at Dirt Work which is alot of what I'm doing now. last time the tractor was really useful was grinding the stumps where the new driveway for the new garage...

Here I'll try again...

One Two, skip a few... I got married again a year ago. House is 98.237% done. I'm thinking about downgrading my tractor to a skid steer. and I can't remember how to add pictures it seems...

Wow!!! It's been a long time. Good Afternoon to all, especially anyone who remembers this former n00b who asked too many stupid questions. 1st of all, I hope and pray that all-o-y'all are fine and dandy and doing well. Believe it or not, I am doing well and I fear it is time to downsize my...

Before and after staining the one hardwood trim in the new bedroom, a boat ride on my buddies boat with my GF and daughter, Comcast arrived BEFORE the concrete and put a small conduit in for my cable, custom granite thresholds (they will match the countertops) for the master bath, COLOR in the...

Another shot from the balcony (yes that is my Daughter & my GF), I precisely measured and figured out how/where to mount my new Pool Table light, and COLOR starts going on the walls (started in Master Bath first so heated floor & tile can begin), and color in master bedroom

Mudding the Garage, Garage door installed (multiple views), prepping and shaping the concrete driveway, and the additional pool deck we will pour at the same time (View from future balcony).

Mudding the Masterbath, giant closet, the exposed brick from former outside wall, obligatory tractor pic one of the days I was grinding stumps for the concrete driveway, my truck loaded with Brazilian Walnut flooring for the master, My 9' Gandy Pool table FINALLY being assembled, the inside trim...

Drywall starts!!!! Steps from Garage to the mudroom entrance to the house (literally the 2nd New room built), Drywall in master, chilling by the pool, cutting through the plywood side of house to install the garage door. Mudding the drywall in master bedroom & bath.

Pouring, forming, polishing the garage floor. Siding is basically complete.

Siding is close to done. The Memorial Day cake my Daughter made for our BBQ party, the "Shashlik" style wood fired grill with Shashlik cooking, Insulation goes in, and pouring the concrete for the Garage floor!

I need to fill in the last like 5 crazy weeks of progress... Detail of the "Grade Beams" that hold up the garage floor (18" deep, tons-o-rebar), putting the big bay window in, yes, Sunshine the kitty loves that window. Cutting in my new powerline and 400Aamp meter...

At the Old Mossflower, I cut down a BUNCH of Pawlonia trees. They sucker, they tend to be hollow, they grow freakishly fast, and I HATE them with a passion because of all the above listed reasons. Pain in my tookus they were... Be well, David

Ditto... David

Grrrrr... Guess what! It just started three times in a row... I HATE Intermittent problems!!!

THANK YOU!!! I will investigate this!

No cab, no windshield, no wipers. Sorry, David

Fuse is good I just checked that, the fuse is common with the 4WD and the green light lights for 4WD, si I think maybe there is power. I do not know where the PTO Coil is... (Sorry I'm still a bit of a n00b...) David

Hey everyone. I went out this afternoon to grind a few stumps in prep for the concrete driveway and MY PTO will not start. Literally nothing happen when I click the switch. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance, David

Mornin' Y'all! Well the siding guys did not show up all weekend and can't tell me when they're finishing. So the electrician cannot finish rough-in & I can't order inspections yet... My GC Carpenter who is supposed to be running this job FOR me, well he taking today off to go work on his...

I saw this post in my email, sprayed a ton of WD-40, waited 3 minutes and clickety-clack it popped open like a charm. I had been wondering how to lube this area. THANK YOU!!! Be well, David

Yesterday, they prepped the Garage floor with stone dust, gravel, TONS of rebar, and "Grade Beams" that will hold up the floor regardless of the soil type etc. I am really close to able to order all of the rough-in inspections so I can begin "Close-in" with insulation, drywall, etc.

So... This is something out of order. Last fall I believe I removed this really cool Dutch Door (Originally it was the back door, then they enclosed the back porch into a "Garden room?" and when I added the mini-split HVAC I relocated this door to the door of the "Shop" out in the "Barn". Too...

Guys, Friday I had to switch to the forks in a hurry, and they are always a bit tight. When they arrived years ago, I had to grind out the hole on one side just to fit. Well they were on but I could not get the latch to latch locked, so I stomped on it... Well now I cannot get it to release...

Yes, it was the transmission oil cooler sprang a leak.

Hey Now!!!! I guess I deserved that one... Three Ex-Wives, 1st vanished, 2nd has my daughters, 3rd deceased unexpectedly. There will be NO MORE. As for Drama, still got a bit too much of that, prolly my fault.... NO, I am NOT engaged AGAIN. We are very happy together and see no reason to...

Thank You sir. Healing and best of outcomes tomorrow for both Randy & Buppies... I will limit my drama to the danged remodeling thread... Be well all of you, Y'all is good folk. David

The small hall bathroom we re-did completely, the front view yesterday, the insulation moving I did today.

Dominion came to cut my main house panel, the new 400A over to a new line they put in with the subdivision. All they did is trench and run a wire from my meter box to the splice location. My daughter last weekend goofing off in the pool, some shots of the house siding progress, and the first 110...

October 2021... Four the 1st anniversary of our first date, we went to Baltimore aquarium and zoo (first date was DC Zoo), had some fun with tile mosaic on bottom of pool thinking fun, entertainment, decorations and eventually grandkids, they came and re-did the surface and filled the pool. PS...

Pool command center being built, trench a dude hand dug for the 50A circuit for the pool heater I'm adding, I had the coping done in brick (duh) my own modified color mix of 60% autumn/40% red, then my guy formed and poured the new concrete apron and the pad for the 5 person hot tub, started...

Updates are coming!!!!

I'm still here!!! I've been busy...

Yes. I will be getting a tech to come work on my Tractor.

I stopped grinding, moved the tractor to its normal parking spot and shut it down hopefully before any additional damage could occur... I still consider myself a bit of a n00b, but not as pathetic as I was 10 years ago, LOL... Not my first mechanical issue etc... Be well, David

No real change except less land. Yesterday I also started another thread about the oil leaking in front of the radiator while grinding a stump and being panicked (probably with justification). I dumped the rusted out F250 snowplow truck (and the rusted out Ranger snowplow truck, etc. in the big...

I have not even caught up to the real work yet... My pictures are still on my phone and I need to download them. I have other things I must accomplish today but what's coming is... Tomorrow we pour the footers for the foundation of a 28 x 28 large 2 car garage shop with a new master suite...

I had these nasty old brick walkways, I rolled them all up, replaced with pea gravel and slate, and recycled all the good bricks into a couple killer paver patios, one with a sandy beach for sunning (my daughter made a cool pattern of footprints in it, and one for a fire pit (not shown yet) also...

Yes indeed! Next I drained the pool of all the frogs and hickory nuts (It was dormant for 3-4 years) they acid washed it and I opened the pool!

That makes sense. it was also a bit sluggish. I stopped grinding... LOL...

I believe it is! Thanks, David I started a remodel thread...

A few more before the move and a couple post move. Had to dig a brand new well, 340' deep. The next trench I believe is the Dominion guys bringing in new power and Comcast (also when I started this, the road was still gravel and none of the 10 homes in the subdivision were built. I was here EARLY...

Good Afternoon! I know it's been a while since I visited. Hope all of y'all are well! David

Hey everyone, sorry I'm tardy (again), Good Afternoon! I'm very busy with my remodel finally getting started over the last few months. I'm getting up to speed in my new job at Cisco, but its still weird due to the Virus. My daughter is past 12.5 and rapidly turning into a teen and lovely young...

Merry Christmas!!!! And have an Amazing & Awesome 2021 Be well all-o-Y'all David

Good Morning TBN! Big week for me. My 3rd Divorce should happen this week... Won't be doing that again... Moving on... I made a minimal update on the Remodel of MossFlower thread. Be well all! David

Hey TBN, My buddy just offered me an approximate 1600 LB chunk of steel that fits in a 3pt frame I have that I've always planned as a Ballast/ chainsaw & wood carrier. I have a 2011 Kioti DK50 and I've been aiming at like an 1100 LB total weight. My question is simply when is too much Ballast...

There's always a couple funny guys... LOL Both made me chuckle... RipTides, I actually brought one of my loggers out to discuss "thinning the hardwoods" and it was not economically feasible. I would have had him drop at least 5 in the front yard... Be well all, David

Hey All! I'm updating pictures so I can update my remodel thread. It is moving slower than I'd like, but such is life. I did get my driveway paved. I'm having a heck of a time with Leaves, can anyone point me to a killer thread on managing leaves? I do live inside the edge of ~15 acres of...

Rip, It is DEF growing on me. My buddy and I this weekend had a .22 clinic for my daughter, his granddaughter & some nephew. we also hiked into my forest and looked for water etc. It is pretty quiet, the RTE17 traffic sounds like white noise mostly. Also there is minimal light pollution (at...

Riptides, I am NOT increasing any square feet (not really, I am finishing a tiny bit of attic into a closet). Hopefully, that will not raise eyebrows. Be well, David

What is the bungee cord method?

Sorry I've been delinquent here guys. Well I sold the 51 acre MossFlower last Friday and I've been living here at New MossFlower since the 19th. But it has been backbreaking in more ways than one with demands from buyers, packing, moving, cleaning, etc.... Also last minute catastrophes etc. I...

Actually getting the screws out of the plastic enclosure and now getting them back in is the biggest challenge. GRRRRR!!!!! Totally fixed my long time issue. I was so scared it was mouse damage to the wiring... OOF!!! Be well, David

$110+ later the new Iginition switch from the dealer in Mineral VA fixed my issue 100%!!!! Phew!!! David

Good Morning All. Seems my new Kioti dealer has in stock ignition switches!!!!! WOOT this might be an easy fix! Be well all, David

Thanks RNG. I will check them out. David

Morning all. Spent last evening discovering what I was afraid was mouse damage is actually a bad ignition switch on my DK50. Now I gotta find a new one asap. Spent the morning largely frustrated shopping for various type of moving equipment, dollies, tie downs, etc. as I have a LOT of...

Agreed!!! Be well, David

Ken, Not to insult Mainers, but Loblolly Pine is the cash crop here in VA, building grade and faster growing. Hardwoods simply take too long to grow, 30 years for pine, 60-80 years for Hardwood. Homes are built from Pine... I grew up in Oregon. OMG I miss those HUGE Douglas Fir trees, but...

RNG, Your situation seriously tugs at my heart strings... Be Safe!!!! I do understand, I am entering the "small land owner" now as I will be under 20 acres and not completely wooded. I've got a guy, he is just getting started as a larger logging operation. I'm going to pay him to clear near...

RNG - Unpacking is a dream I cannot afford yet. I gotta make it through the next 9 days (maybe a few more). And I believe if the timber industry was healthy in CA, if CA was less NIMBY & Greenie, there would be more treating of the forest as an asset, not just pretty to look at. Just my...

Good Morning all. Just read RNG's post and my goosebumps have goosebumps and I was fervently praying for him & his neighbors and the little sprinkler that could. I've got a ton of friends and family in Oregon and it looks pretty bad up there also. Logging MUST RESUME PEOPLE!!!!!! Just...

Good Evening All. Well I've accepted a not as good as the last one offer for the rental, and the good news is that there better be PLENTY of funds for the remodel. Everything should be closed by end of Sept. and I will be down to only owning 2 homes (I will sell the other rental the second it...

Jim, I also love that picture. I use it as the lock screen on my phone also. She is awesome. Your Grand daughter sounds pretty awesome also. Yes, they grow up way too fast. Friday my son turns 35... Time with my youngest daughter is extremely precious to me. Be well. David

I say I'm "________ with experience"

Ted, I sure Hope so! I have a 6 pack of swanky hungarian poultry seasoning I got from Amazon in late May early June I cannot find! $30 worth! LOL I'm gonna try to trash/donate some of those "Lost Treasures" but not the spices!!! It is an interesting process... Not fun. I'm sweating like...

Drew, Yes, far too soon she will be grown (but hopefully not gone). I have NO relationship for some years now with the older girls. My son turns 35 and looks to have found "the one" and he is in Richmond we are fairly close. I just hit 9 years as a TBN n00b... LOL... This is far too true...

Don, Ex wife #2 Home-schools. My other girls are 22-20 and they did K-12 Home-School... March, June, Sept, and Dec. are "Break Months" so I get daughter for extra 5 or 7 days... June & Sept are 7 days extra. My girls are all VERY bright... Sodamo met Alannah... so has Lstinthot... Be well...

THANK GOD!!!!! Great News for Ted & Randy!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT! Got my daughter until morning of 15th for "Staycation" and it really should be called PackingCation... Originally we were to me in Maui today for a week, cancelled that due to COVID, changed to Orlando, cancelled that to pack. In...

RNG, Just for Kicks, check out Ruckus Wireless I just so happen to work for CommScope (I sell networking & wireless to the Intelligence Community), who a bit over a year ago bought Ruckus and chattels (brocade, foundry, arris). My understanding is we are the preeminent WiFi access points...

That's a decent plan... Why didn't I think of that... Sigh... I think this is my first solo move since shortly after I got out of the Navy in 1986... Interesting. Be well all, David

I second this assessment. Save me a seat... Be well, David

Amen. Just not ready for that yet...

LS, I HATE Packing. I bet I'm not the only one. Can I get an Amen??? Be well all! David

Morning y'all!!! Well I mowed my ranch that I'm selling and met with the family of the 5 brothers buying my place and they LOVE THE LAND awesome people. I've got tentative plan for movers on the 19th. I forgot to take pictures, but the well driller was parked at my new place Saturday...

BEST POST EVER!!!!! LOL!!! Me Too!!! LOL David

GREAT Idea!!! At some point soon I will offer to host a Virginia TBN Meat & Greet where we run a couple BBQ Grills and we potluck style a get together. I bet we'd get a good turn out. Be well All! David

Chris, Basically that is the plan. I've not rescinded my tenant's 60 day notice so she has to move, and I suspect that if not sold, it will be the second it is vacant... I'm hoping to get at least as good of ma offer, and I'm mostly bothered about the 6 weeks of summer market we missed while...

Buppies, Yes sir, you are unfortunately WAY TOO FAR away to help me. Be well sir! David

Technically they were fully approved. I've kicked out my tenant, I've bought another house. Technically I can sue them and force them to close. I only get their small earnest money immediately if I release them from litigation. NO, buyers should not just change their minds at the end of a deal...

Buppies, I'm awaiting the revised quote, we marked stuff yesterday, but it is 3" stone, some clearing of weeds, some grading etc. Do you work up in Stafford CO? I'm off exit 133. I would like to discuss with you on DM sometime a good cleanup and regravel of the back driveway, it is probably...

Mornin Y'all! As is ususal, I've got a bit of Chaos in my life. The buyers for my rental at a very late stage have bailed out of the contract leaving me only with legal options. Of course I've already given my tenant 60 days notice over 30 days ago. I've already sold my home and written a...

Ron, I LOVE the stone/metal duck!!!!! Hey everyone! Hope all is well. The buyers for my rental that I am also selling are trying to back out at the last minute, and I've already sold my home and committed to buy Mossflower2!!! I'm in a bit of a panick, but I know it will sell. I've updated...

Ron, DON'T tell me that!!!! Honestly, I bought Mossflower1 10 years ago and I've tried to remodel it 3 times and failed. I need the next one to go better!!! David

Buppies, I tend to agree sir! David

Forget it, that's too much torture! Be well, David

I expect you are 10000% correct David! Kyle, I HOPE you are correct!!! Randy, That is a FABULOUS idea. I hope Jim is avaialble... Be well all, David

My DK50, loaded rears, and an attachment are like 7000-7,700 LBS, will it haul that??? David

Thanks Drew! I know those guys very well actually. David

Kyle, Two topics here on the trailer. For the big move from MFW#1 to MFW#2, I am HIRING movers for MOST stuff. I'm selling two houses, I'm not gonna be cheapo this time. For the equipment, I NEED to OWN a trailer that will haul my tractor with bush-hog at minimum. I have a 12' x 5' flatbed...

HEY!!!! I need a GOOD trailer. I'm OK with used. I need to move my tractor and attachments, my 60" ZTR, etc. For now I plan to pull it with my 2010 F350 PSD (I plan to upgrade the truck to version with AC soon). I need to buy it very soon. Advise me. Please. David

Kyle, I promise a "Moving Mossflower" or similar thread... I PROMISE! OK, there are just too many great comments I can't quote all of you, but even though I am rarely here, y'all still feel like family and I love each & every one of you very much. Here are some answers... The new place...

Having had the distinct privilege of beer & dinner with David & Sophie atop their mountain paradise, it's totally worth the trip. David

Yes it is. Now I'm going to remodel a all brick colonial 3BR 3 BA with a full basement. I'm going to refinish the pool and add a hot tub and do new concrete apron etc... I'ts going to be FUN!!!! All while I live in it also!!!! Just wow... I'm sitting here a bit stunned about what to do 1st...

Good Afternoon all! I'm a bit stunned, I just got a call from my realtor. The first group to look at my house/property Sunday wrote me a full price offer, with no home inspection... WOW... I'm moving!!! God is good... Be well all of you. David

I don't disagree, but I gotta live here full time, so, I will do what I can... LOL. David

Just FYI, I posted the listing for my home in my other thread. Here it is again... The pictures are STUNNING (I think). Email from Aug 15 22 - Matrix Portal Be well, David

AMEN!!! David

Drew, I'm in a similar boat sir... Back in March I killed HughesNet after 10 years and 3 upgrades because it stank and was a spam machine. I had been using my VZW MiFi for just my work computer and it was OK pre-COVID, but now I'm trying to sell, so can't try a different satellite service...

PJSprog, That's basically the decision process I used, but added impetus was both my riding mowers won't start... All of the used stuff was well over $4K, many well into the $5K's. I got this with 0% interest 48 months (I've got the $$ but took the offer) and it was just $5,199. Be well. David

I have not had that issue yet... Forewarned now. Thanks, David

I have not scalped anything yet. Most of it I cut at 3"... The heavily overgrown I cut at 5 and plan to recut. David

Pretty accurate there sir... I just wish I was less of a n00b after all these years. Now I need to buy another trailer... The new mower will not fit on my 5x12 due to sides. Neighbor's got a flatbed, had to buy a pintle hook... We shall see if I can manage to collect my mower today or be...

Thank you my friend! Very sad that I had to cancel Maui for this year due to COVID... Maybe Next year!!!!! Many blessings on you and Sophie. Visiting with you was one of my favorite parts of the Big Island trip. Be well, David

Can I steal that??? LOL!!! You get me! LOL Thanks Jim.

Drew, I totally appreciate the advice. I'm trying to take things slowly, COVID makes everything surreal which does not help. My goal is to be a good boyfriend even GREAT, but that's it. Enjoy MY Life and interests. Be good to me for a while. Be well, David

My lawyer and all my friends have been telling me NO MORE MARRIAGES!!! One of them even said to stop being the nice guy, and ordered me to date multiple ladies at the same time, LOL... Nope the only woman with any hint of control on my life now is 11.5 and adorable... Thanks Randy. Be well, David

Morning all-o-Y'all.... On the ZTR I'm 99% decided on a Gravely 60", my former Kioti guy now sells them & he's got 0%... On bigger things though I'm at a tilting point and I've got many, many thoughts on my mind... 10 years ago this past week, I bought this 51 acre place as my 3rd home. I...

Well it is JUST BARELY legally still morning here so... GOOD MORNING Y'ALL!!! Good to see this place stays consistent. I'm here to read/post a bit about zero turn mowers, I've just gotta bite the bullet it seems... Be well all of you! David

That kills my vacation... We were arriving Sept. 4 I think... No way I can wait to buy tickets now... Dagnabit! David

Good to be Seen! David PS - Trying to get back to the Islands in Sept. plan is Maui, but can't buy plane tickets until the stop the 2 weeks quarantine in Place!!!

Drew, Back in January I bought a 2010 F350 snow plow truck. I have to make payments on it though... Big Blue Beast. I had to immediately fix a bunch of stuff also, but it was right at 50,000 miles. The Ranger I ended up donating to a wounded warrior type place. The F250 has WAY TOO much rust...

Good Afternoon! I'm happy to report I am STILL ALIVE and still mostly a n00b, or maybe a Hot Mess, LOL... I posted today in Lawn equipment because I'm trying to horse trade my busted & rusted 1996 F250 for a mower better suited to my 3+ acres I need to mow... I hope all is awesome and...

I need to mow a bit over 3 acres, only about 1/2 to 1 acre is good quality yard, the rest is field grass hills, trails, access roads, and old pasture. I'm just asking if there are any OBVIOUS gotcha's I need to consider with this potential mower. Thanks in advance. David

Morning Y'all! Not much going on here at MossFlower. Having an very Un Winter. yesterday was crappy rain all day. Its warm for a bit, then cold a tiny bit, very odd winter. Need at least one good snow so we can sled and test my new truck/Plow. Lots of work, which is good for my soul after 6...

Good early Afternoon Folks! Shopping for tires for my new truck so I've been on here more that lately. Hope all-o-y'all are awesome today! Be well! David

RNG, Exactly!! How does Title Insurance etc. not cover this!! I'm very concerned about that ad also. Everything seems to be a scam lately... Grrr David

1000 just since last week, right? LOL! Aloha my friend. We did Mazatl疣 with my daughter last Sept. and this year we are headed to Maui! Be well! David

Thanks RNG! Ditto to you! David

Drew, Very good to hear from you as well! Have fun in the RV & Get Well. David

Nope your memory is fine. Did not get started unfortunately. First appraisals were too low, then 6 months laid off sucked away the savings. been working again since Thanksgiving week so we WILL try again soon as we save up. I'm also planning some form of a family subdivision so I can find...

I just bought a new to me 2010 F350 with an 8' Meyers Plow and it needs tires, soon. Primary use is to plow snow, haul stuff for ranch, etc. MINIMAL road driving planned and not commuting etc. unless dire conditions. The crappy BF Goodrich All Terrain TA on it immediately clogged with mud and...

Hello all, Been a long time since I was here asking questions so I thought I'd return. I just got a new to me truck and I'm planning for a trailer to haul my DK-50. So I have a DK-50, front loader, bucket, and loaded rear tires (RV antifreeze in one, and water & kerosene I think in the other -...

Good Morning All-O-Y'all!!! I know, been a LONNNNNNNNG time since I was here. Been busy. Hoping all is well with all of you & yours. I'm here mostly for some silly questions I need help with. Be well all, David

LOL!!! You are Killing me Drew! Be well, David

Yup. Sad but true... David

Happy Easter All-o-Y'all! He is Risen! And I'm still around! Too many things going on, sorry I've not been around. I've fallen in love with Gracie Jiu-Jitsu starting in January and trying to turn the fat old man I've become into a badass fat old man... LOL! be well all! David

Morning all! I'm glad the sun came out again yesterday as it seemed like it had been gone since I left lovely Kona Hawaii... Good riddance to Florence, luckily I had nothing except rain... Grapple seems to be fixed!!! Long story so go see my other thread for that. but found a great mobile...

Bruce, Thanks for pointing out all the new GRAY in my beard since last time we met... LOL!!! Be well sir.

Buppies for the win!

And a wonderful time was had by all!!! Personally I will staunchly vouch for the amazing hospitality of Sophie & David. Yes his table is awesome, so is the view (better in person). Today is off to a snorkle cruise and tomorrow is the long trip back to Virginia. Big Island is very lovely. Be...

Massive Thunder woke me up about 5am. It's pouring now... Our repairs to the dam thus far seem to be mostly holding water. Work + Social calendar and too many things busted at same time has kept me fixing the grapple issue. But got mower deck welded, F250 battery charged and brakes OK, SSQA...

My wife & I, and my 9 year old daughter will be headed to Kona on the BIg Island in early September. Wife and I were in Peurto Vallarta for Valentines Day, and we are taking another couple with us to Mazatlan in late April/early May 2019. Part of the marriage vows was 2 vacations per year, in...

Morning all! Yesterday my neighbor and I managed to get the SSQA broken bolt removed, oiled it all up, fixed a loose pin and hammered straight one of the bars which was slightly bent, all in about 15-20 min. Other than that I've played with my 9 year old daughter all weekend. She goes back to...

Don, Just Do it. Dance like nobody's watching... Wear what you want to wear too. Be well, David

Roy, I have complete faith you run a tight shop sir. Be well, David

Bruce (MostlyGas) Please have a Very Happy & Blessed Birthday Brother! Be well, David

Awesomeness!!!! Thanks for sharing! Be well, David

Guys, I'm afraid the LX266 42C deck may not be able to successfully be re-welded again... This time the entire wheel assembly fell off. I've got maybe about 5 acres we mow, some of it is nice lawn, some of it is trails and old pastures, some of it is rough but needs more than a bush hog. The...

LOL!!!!! Ed, MCBQ is Marine Corps Base Quantico... The "Live fire range" is only a BBQ when testing the flame throwers... I'm still laughing... I love your post! David

Don, When we actually get to BUILDING the house I've designed we will have a drop zone immediately at the garage door. turn left and the barn door goes into the kitchen, turn right and there is the pantry shelves, then the laundry & utility sink, and a powder room. I wonder if the wife will...

Bummer Brother! I feel your pain! Be Well, David
