Had a culvert get blocked on our drive(16") that allowed water to get back up on and blow out a terraced section of it in January. Called the local rock supplier and ordered when got drier and less cold a replacement for my stockpile so I could finish that patch repair I made. Two weeks later and last Thursday the rock came. Made some more repair as was expecting company and then Sunday decided time to eliminate some more grass. New aprons to park my equipment on, skinned off sod then laid out the rock awaiting the rains we got last two days to settle it. Not bad for four hours work. Now can get my parked machinery off the driveway and out of my way!!

Yeah, I even see some green grass there in the first picture.  Even with our recent melt wave we have five six inches to go.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

That looks like time well spent. While the rest of us fight mud in the spring, you'll be up on the high and dry. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

A little more than halfway up to my knee in snow still. Even with temp's hitting the 50s yesterday, and maybe up 40 today, this snow isn't budging one bit. ------------- I need more than 200 characters for my "signature." I'd love to see that changed to 250! |

| In actuality I got a Insurance reduction(By the agent) for building separation distance. Beyond the fence behind the buildings I want to add a Storage Pond with a dry Hydrant, that will give a even better discount. |
