    I like the decks on that place. Nice high pitch to the roof, Lots of windows, has a mni-split installed. Good eves all around the roof. Daylight basement.

    Cape cod/strawberry box, my favorite style house. 1.5 storeys is a great use of space without making the house too big, and I love a steep roof for both looks and function.

    Looked at some tractors then, on the way home, filled up at a gas station. Paid and walked out to find a flat tire! I picked up a a 6" piece of steel from something that had rusted and fallen off and planted itself in my sidewall. The tires were going to be replaced in a couple of months anyway but this just moved up the date.

    Luckily, I found a shop that had what I wanted in stock and had an opening right away.

    Still made for a long day.

    Prices. Lol.

    I keep telling anyone that can wait on tires right now to wait. This is at our house too My Generals on my truck are crap. The rubber hardened up after the first winter. They look nearly new, but they simply don't grip on the cold and have 40k on them. Next winter I'll have new tires on it. I'll probably just buy smaller rims (18") with bigger tires and leave the highway tires on the big chrome factory wheels for road trips.

    BTW, I would strongly discourage anyone from buying General tires. This is my second set in a few years and they did the same thing both times. After 1 winter season, the rubber hardened up and didn't grip for squat in snow and cold temps. The set I had on the audi allroad (which had a phenomenal AWD with the quattro system) did the same thing. I wouldn't have put these exact tires on my truck, but they were on it when I bought the truck. "It's got new tires on it" was what they tried to say as a positive. Well, highway tires on an off road package truck is the wrong call. I was hoping they'd just wear out, and if replace them but they they are too stubborn.

    How did you end up getting into raising goats? And what is their purpose? I have considered getting some. As part of a hobby farm, what advantages do they bring?

    They are pets for the kids and we milk them about 8 months out of the year. The kids show them in 4H too.
