Nice Lizzie! I bet you feel so good when you do such a good job. So good that you deserve a vacation....say to, Michigan?
Seriously, I'm impressed!
Hey Lizzie, invest in a couple of adjustable bar clamps for holding things in place while you're working. I used two when I built the blueberry enclosure to hold a twelve foot 2x4 in place while I was screwing it to the vertical posts. That way you can line things up exactly where you want them and have them held, solidly, while working.

You guys are scaring her away! It all works out Terry, you have the will and will find a way!
We didn't have a plow for the first few years, Mr. Q hooked a section of a log, that was kind of flat on one side, to the back of the pickup, then dragged that to moosh and push the snow so we could get down the driveway. We both had trucks/SUVs and it worked well enough. We did have to call a snow plowing service once or twice, but it wasn't too bad.
We do have to dress the driveway gravel too, but most years we can get by with just filling in the low spots or the curves, the gravel disappears there. Drainage is key to buying less gravel!
If I know Terry, I doubt anyone can scare her away. She seems to be a pretty determined lady. Of course she'll figure it all out. I guess I was just free-associating all the care that goes into a house, starting with snow removal. Sorry, Terry, I didn't want to burst your balloon.

Believe and visualize.
Somehow, there's a way ...
The wilds of Alaska?I've sure be doing the visualizing. I can see myself there. If it's meant to be it will happen but maybe there is something better out there for me. You just never know.![]()

Around here, snowmobile season is MAJOR. They have clubs that maintain trails, groom the snow, set up signs, and, in general, live for the snow!! The eight-inch stop signs are gems, and are up all year.After watching Discovery, you must love really cold weather and a skidoo or snowcat is a must! That's way too darn cold for my tastes. Every watch "The Money Pit"?
First you steal my dessert and now you want to steal my house?![]()
