i meant to post another update a couple of weeks ago, but the forum ate the post a couple of times. so i’m going to create the post in a local editor and then cut and paste into the forum. it’s enough work to get a decent post put together once than i don’t feel the need to repeat the process...

hmm, that's irritating. i saw the double post, deleted the second one, and now the deleted 2nd post has returned. how rude. i went out to the property today and spent an hour looking around. things are progressing nicely; yesterday they started with some of the poles loose in the holes (see...

i bought a 4wd '95 1070 tractor a couple of months ago. really good shape, low hours, and the price was right. but, it didn't have a loader. the perceived price/value correlation was too good to pass up, so i started looking around for a loader for my new (too me) beauty. there was a jd 80...

given that the gross vehicle weight rating (gvwr) and gross cargo weight rating (gcwr) for new pickup trucks is now greater than 30,000 pounds, there is a lot of concern about whether or not a commercial driver's license is required to legally own and operate these vehicles. i don't claim to be...

i don't really mean to dribble pictures into this thread, it just seems to be happening this way. anyway, i found some aerial shots that might prove interesting. the first is an overview of the general area with our lot roughly marked in. these pictures were taken on december 28th of last...

my wife and i were out and about this past weekend, and i took some more pictures. we keep noticing more features about the property, and add the attendent work to our ever growing list of things to do. we have a fenced in tree park where the vast majority of our trees reside. i'm not sure if...

i was out on the property this week talking with the permit guy from elbert county roads and bridges. i need a permit in order to "attach" my driveway to the elbert county road network. they want to make sure that there is sufficient turning radius to allow emergency vehicles (fire engines...

mjncad, i did look at mcmaster-carr, and they don't carry a m14 rivet nut either. you can put 100 ft-lbs of torque on a m14 bolt, i guess a rivet nut can't hold at those loads. oh well. for general information, here is the scene of the crime:

my wife and i closed on 40 acres of land 16 miles east of kiowa, co and 4 miles north of highway 86. we will retire there in about five years or so. the aim is to end up retired, debt free, and with everything we need finished. the land has 4 strand barbed wire fence on the east and west...

my personal vehicle these days is a 1995 nissan pathfinder that was originally bought with 135000 miles or so for my then high-school aged children (the kids, now 26 and 24, drive far better cars than i do). my wife and i have been traipsing around the area southeast of denver for retirement...

my wife and i are planning our retirement home. for my wife, retirement is perhaps 5 years away. i've been out of work for a long time, and have pretty much given up at this point. today we put an offer on a 36 acre tract of land in elbert county, colorado. we're pretty much city slickers at...

my wife and i are buying some property in elbert county, colorado, and i am beginning the research phase of buying a tractor to support our land. i promise a raft of silly questions and any number of dumb looks in response to experienced, knowledgeable answers. thanks in advance :)
