A closer view of this plow... it needs new blades that bolts on the plows if you all know where I can get some or possibly have some to get rid of soon.

Finally... got some time to come in here and ask some questions. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Questions:

a) My question is do the rock rakes that are made for a tractor work well?

b) Would a rock rake help me get the majority of the fist size rocks and larger from mt garden?

c) Should I remove as many rocks as I can from the garden?

d) Will the removal of rocks cause the soil to compact more?

e) Does anyone here have a rock rake they would like to sell to me to use on my Food Project?

f) Is there another tool I should be looking for to do this?

g) Would any of you that have seen my garden spot recommend using a tiller with my sloping property?

h) Have any of you visited my website lately? I have a special running for April & May.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi again!

Another question.

Does anyone have plans for a small 25 feet tall or so Lighthouse?

I want to build a Lighthouse with a storage shed over my well since it can be viewed from the roadside. It will be my testimony of what God can & will do with a little faith.

My theme and Logo will be:

"Faith is My Beacon of Hope"

Something similiar to the picture below.

Here is a place to see these:

Lighthouse Plans and different styles.

This is another Lighthouse I like... not sure I could build it or even make it work for what it needs to be able to do as far as maintenance. I would like to use some of the rocks from the garden to make it like a landmark.

Also I have to make the storage shed over the well with a roof that can be removed in case of maintenance or replacing pipe and pump. Maybe with a section of roof that is removable. Design/Plans to be modified for this purpose for sure.

I also this I may put a concrete floor around the well casing with access to waterlines and powerlines coming and leaving well. This should prevent problems with maintenance as well.

Any thoughts?
