Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Nice work. The trouble with me running a dozer is I don't know when to when to quit. My friend has dropped his off here several times for me to use.
Nice looking place you have.

Locals tell me they can’t remember the last time there wasn’t snow for Christmas.

So far I’ve had 154 hours of fun on the tractor.

This is what 225 yards of 1” clear looks like. I will spread about 150 yards over a 45x60 foot platform for a 30x50 foot concrete pad. The rest will be spread much thinner behind the garage pad and will cover an area 100x150 feet.

:shock: Holy cow, that’s a lot of rock. The 154 on your tractor’s hour meter is going to climb quickly. Good to have motorized help!

That little tractor has paid for itself. I do as much work as possible and act as the general contractor. I’ve hired five separate sub-contractors and did the design myself.

Now that spring is here I’m starting on this project again. Yesterday the concert man came out to look at the ground where the garage will go.
