1. Added 10 more 250w solar panels to my system, now up to 11kw.

2. Got a 6' tall post, board and 2"x4" wire fence built around one of my garden spaces ( anti-deer fencing)

3. Got 6,000bdft of lumber logged and sawed out (Woodmizer) for a neighbor's new barn.

4. Got a 20x36 hoop house built to extend our growing season couple months on either side of January.....including the block retainer walls to go with it. (White oak hoops)

5. Got 4 cords of wood cut and split for the winter of 2014-15.

6. Got the barn loft stocked with 2 years worth of square bales ( about 800 ).

7. Put 4 deer in canning jars.

Sounds like a fun year. I only went to one show last year. That was Tab Benoit. Back in the day, I went to my share of Dead shows. Would love to catch Further or Ratdog before all the guys die on us. Bobbie is 66, Bill is 67, Mickey is 70 and Phil is 73. Who would have thought with all their hard living they would still be on the road at their age.

Did a couple of things, such as:

Turned a hill leading from the hay barn to the goat barn into stairs.


We built a covered feeder for the goats.


Changed a old piece of junk into a usable trailer.


Built a goat handler from scratch.


And, a few other things that I don't have any pictures to show proof.

Oops, forgot this one. Built and sold another round hay bale feeder.


A good year.

Have any more pics and info on that? I'm looking to build a greenhouse in the near future and have never seen the hoops made that way, but I like the idea.

finished the FEL for the old estate garden tractor

then dug up the neighbor's septic line to his tank ( 75 ' away from his house ) and ripped out the tree roots,with the Backhoe

best thing this year ? got sick of having the boss demand I use my tools/equipment to do his jobs, finally told him what to do.... :dance1:
then started my own company .... now I make the money
now he has to buy his own machinery, tools and look for someone to do the work.... :thumbsup:
