They got that idea from our neighboring state of Minnesota, same crowd in Government over there.

Need at least 2 more months of good weather, just saying!

Thanks, thats quite an 8 day schedule Sweep, I will just be happy to get dried in by the end of October which I think is entirely doable.

Pete, my sled will have a nice warm place this coming winter, look forward to riding in January!

So far, so good. As you know you have to be on someones list at least 2 years in advance to get a major project like this done. I'm in pretty good shape for a 66 year old and I like to see what I can accomplish. This is like building a small home, it's actually a little larger that our home...

Friday I had a load of road gravel delivered (15yds) My excavator was busy so I spread it myself by hand, Took me most of Friday, That's a lot of gravel but it was really needed to level out the approach to the garage, I was pleased with the result. Saturday was framing and Sunday also, Put up...

You do fine work Skiroule! Enjoy your fishing next week.

I really like fishing right before a front comes through, have always caught fish and have had great activity. As for the solunar tables, they seem to work sometimes but full moon is a great night for fishing!

We stop there for lunch whenever we are in Minocqua, good food, more than ample servings, usually take home food.

I will figure it out at the end but yes, the major cost is now paid for. Excavation and concrete work was way more than I had figured. My lumber and trusses are paid for, just have to buy shingles and insulation. And a million other little things.........about $2,000 in Menards rebate have been...

It held up pretty good for the first big storm, considering that the sand was very dry prior to the rain. I knew I would have some erosion but it was very little. I will plant grass up there or put down fabric and wood chips over it eventually. That was a heavy down pour we had last night so I...

Pete, no fabric, we had 2.5" of rain last night and everything drained of pretty well, not much washout at all, I'm pretty happy about that because I was a little worried. The garage slab was pretty dry this morning as well with only a couple of puddles on the flat part of the garage which is...

Those are Oak trees, We have oak, pine, birch and maple on the lot, maybe a couple popple. Yes those are boulders that were used for the retaining wall that you see in the finished pictures.

Thanks Skiroule, the lot has been a challenge with planning this project but I think it has come together pretty much like I had envisioned so far. Supposed to get a short burst of heavy rain tonight so we'll see about the drainage. I have load of road gravel coming in the morning to put in...

Started this project about 6 weeks ago, my biggest delay was waiting 4 weeks for XCEL to bury my power line which was hanging directly across the new garage creating all sorts of issues for excavation and concrete. On Monday/Tuesday this week the excavation was finished and this morning my...

I never bought a used iphone, see what his plan offers as a phone, might be decent.

I'm not sure what your family situation is but if you have a family member that you can piggyback on their plan it might be good for you. Tracphones from Walmart might also be an option.

It seems like forever but the project is back on track. Excavator was here this morning and will be finished up Tuesday, Concrete floor supposed to be poured on Wednesday. Then the fun starts, I was bored so I cut the sill plates this past weekend, just have to put the foam under them when they...

Awesome!

Saw a full semi load of Ski-Doos at a truckstop in Wakefield, MI yesterday.
