It's funny how things can change - 2 years ago I lived in town on a 40'x120' lot. Found a place in the country with a little over 48 acreas and moved there with nothing but three push type lawn mowers! Big thanks to John Deere equipment!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about a steep learning curve!!!
The amount of knowledge and experience here is phenominal.
This is just a note to thank a great bunch of folks who keep answering my many questions. Hopefulle one day I will be able to contribute more than just questions.

You're not one of those Powerball lottery winners, are you? Sounds like a good move to me... ....

Does setting back under a big shade tree with something..well, cold in your hand watching others do your work for you sound familier? Not to me either.
You mean people really do actually win those things :-)I wish! ....

I know the feeling. I gave up my 80 acres in Northern Minnesota before I could get a house put up on it so I could move to Iowa. I lived in a 1200 sq ft house in Iowa on a 60 x 130 lot. Now, I'm on 20 acres with a shop. I'd have a real hard time going back to suburbia.
I told my wife if we have to move back to a suburb, the tractor goes with us. So what if it only takes 10 minutes to mow the lawn with it? I'll have the biggest lawn mower in the neighborhood. Clear my driveway of snow? No problem.
Glad you enjoy the board. I've found it very useful myself. ....

I'm in the process of building a 32' x 60 pole barn right now and I just figured out ir probably won't be big enough!
We've bought stuff since moving here that helped - just not enough and ended up buying more. Starting to get a handle on things now though.
I guess thats what happens when you take a city guy and put him in the country.
My purchases have gotten a LOT smarter since I found this place tho. ....

Mike, I agree. Had I found this board two years ago, I probably would have saved me quite a bit of trouble and money. Oh well, hard lessons learned do stick with you. ....
