will be to continue prepping for a concrete slab for our new 12x20 barn.
I will be laying out hard pack tomorrow and spending the day tamping it down.

Here I am tilling out the area after spending all day digging out the sod.

I feel your pain. 120' rock walkway to the shop so my wife won't get mad at me for tracking junk into the house. Only about 30' to go. The gaps get filled with polymeric rock dust - good stuff for this sort of thing. Image

Steve is that one of those new John Deere's? 300 series?
My Cub Cadet died on me last fall so I kicked it into the corner of the shed and didnt think
about it until this spring. I ended up buying a new 25 hp Kohler engine for it. The tractor only
had 90 hours on it so I was having a hard time justifying buying a new one.

Yes it is. First mistake I made was going to the John Deere dealer after our old mower self destructed. Second mistake was test driving the model with 4-wheel steering. It is a nice mower although my wife uses it a lot more than I do. I sure hope it lasts a long time. [FLUSHED FACE]

Man, i wish I had your soil!
I got rocks and heavy clay.
You don't dig it, you chip it away.
Careful with your back Lance!
