Building a House with Wood

If getting a smaller subcompact size tractor in the 23-25 HP range, I recommend wheel spacers. They tip easy. Especially if someone new to them is operating.

I think that's what mine is classified as, but it's 27 HP.
I don't have wheel spacers but it's a darn good idea. I should look into those.

Holy cow. What you need is expressive. Haven't looked at in since the tractor thread. Are least the market is high. You will use the tractor.

3hrs start to finish. It ain't perfect but the stuff literally fell off a truck. Can't beat the price. It cost me a tank of fuel

So the A team kind of abandoned me, now it's the D team (me) landscaping with a shovel, and trying to GC the rest of the job.

I looked at some YouTube videos, talked to my neighbor Don. I'm kind of winging it.

One thing about working in the rain, I can see that as I add more sand, and stone and soil, that it is still draining.

Full disclosure, as editor of NYSB I should be rooting for the ground to freeze and the snow to fall. But...

We are still working

I'm landscaping the semi frozen earth

Yo, Harv
How are your heat pumps working? For me, if it's in the teens or above I'm good. Single digits and my propane stove and furnace kick on.

Just seeing this.
I wonder if this could be adding to your foot issues? Dunno.

I set mine for 25f to cut over to propane. My thinking is the electrical appliance is expensive and probably it'll last longer if you don't run it as hard? Mine is supposed to be good to 10 degrees, but that seems like a stretch.

Some manufacturers say, the units last ten years.I think I want it to last twenty.

I'm not smart or motivated enough to figure out where the cost effective cutover is for energy cost.
