    The LS tractor does a pretty decent job.

    Great work to Stu and you Toni! Wait till you see where we put our 2500 water storage at. Glad you guys won’t need to travel for water this winter.

    Awesome having those tanks planted, for winter!! That is our main goal eventually at our place. We have a well, goes down deep. THe problem is the well-head housing can freeze, so we have to cut it off- in 32 degrees or below, to preserve the pump from breaking.
    We have a solution, but it's not cheap....to be determined.
    Great to see ya'll doing it. Water is the MOST important resource, that and the air we breath.

      I hope you can implement your plan. You’re absolutely correct, water is crucial for any homestead. What’s awesome is depending on ourselves for our water source and depending on the “system”. Happy off gridder! 😀

    Looking good. That’s one thing I miss by not living on the road system, having gravel delivered or rent large equipment. Hope you all have a great week too.

    You really lucked out on that soil... sand? Our property we have about 3 feet of top soil and then its big chunky granite and clay. Looks like you're really doing it right. I'll be watching, we have this project next year to do. Just finally got a well dug. $$$
