    Yup, could have done a WHOLE lot worse. How long of a driveway did you get?

    Found enough old lumber for form boards and got the 62' front of the barn formed, filled to grade with pea gravel, and backfilled with dirt to the forms. Ended up shoveling 3 ton of gravel....gonna feel that tomorrow....but I beat the rain.

    Sounds really familiar for some reason. :whistle:

    Makes going to get the mail or bringing the garbage up a bit more than a couple minutes!

    But worth every step of the way. :handshake:

    we load garbage and bring it to dump because it’s uphill both ways and the way wind blows off lake; I pick enough of neighbors litter out of front lawn every spring. Usually including the recycling bin. Not neighbors fault 60 mph wind bring stuff to tree line.

    yeah there are pics of my driveway all over this forum!

    Wind is RIPPING out there today. Weather might be spicy later this evening. Hope the power stays on....50 MPH winds and saturated ground makes the trees fall

    My neighbor just lost a big stem off a silver maple. Took out the fence. Probably close to 20" diameter.

    Caught in the middle of a dispute as to where to put the dumpsters, between the dumpster company and the landlord :picard:

    I'll let them sort it out, this place won't be my problem much longer :yes:

    The reason I said it sounds familiar for some reason is that my driveway is just as long. :handshake:

    The height of this dump bed vs the wheels/truck frame looks cartoonishly ridiculous, especially considering the height of the bedsides, or lack thereof. Don't think I've ever seen one like that before.

    I don't think there's such a thing as a commercial cordless one. You want a cord on the gooder stuff
