A tiller followed by a drag harrow makes a good seed bed. You will have to keep the chickens off until your cover becomes established.

Garey,

That sure is a cute little critter. Just another reason for us to stop by and see your place. (Garey and I live close to each other but have only met on the forums) You can add us to...

We started on our do-it-yourself mountain home sleeping in the back of our van. Worked OK for me but the "boss" became unhappy with the logistics of, how shall I say, nighttime nature calls. Anyway...

Robert,

You have caught me at an interesting time to ask where we are in Georgia. We have a vacation home on 14 acres north of Gainesville and east of Dahlonega. The place we are talking about...

Gerard, thanks for the personal knowledge. This is all new to me so all of my reference is from things I have read. We have a fair amount of pine mixed into 20 acres of hardwood and the whole area...

Bryce, I am also in Atlanta and I believe you will find that the price varies depending on volume. If you have one or two stumps you want out size may come into play also. I had a friend west of...

Dan,

Sorry for the slow reply. I just haven't checked the site lately as we struggle through the entire house buying and selling issues. The research continues though and I do have a few new...

Nick,
It sounds like you have a good plan to avoid future shortages, at least for 500 gallons. The system Tenebrous describes is pretty common in areas that have slow flowing wells. I believe the...

I don't question that Pbxhead's information is correct but I do think it misses an important point. I have never seen a building contract that didn't require a builder to perform with in expectable...

I would rather go to the dentist that replace sheetrock.

That is a mighty close call....

Sabi,

It sounds just beautiful and having been in that general area I know the views you are talking about. We did a similar thing on a smaller scale in the mountains of N. Georgia. Bought 14...

Shade,

I think the place people make the most mistakes with decks are where they attach to the house and how the support posts are set. The attachment to the house is very important. Here in...

I hear you fellows! I have heard and seen more horror stories due to logging than I care to remember. That was the main reason I was thinking of doing it the slow way by cutting, skidding and...

Sure fence it but put it on the property line. There is no reason to give that property away and in the future if you haven't claimed it now someone could. I would pay for a survey so there aren't...

Of course you are right Steel Wheels. Nature is pretty remarkable in its ability to recover. We had 90 acres of family land selectively logged a number of years ago and it looked like a war had...

EJB, good thought I will look into that. Thanks for the idea.

Opps, senior moment. I replied to Mike in the above post rather than Paul. /forums/images/icons/blush.gif Sorry.

Don't know about the pump but 3" is the standard around here. If you go to big there is to much room for the liquids to flow past with out pushing the solids. To small...

Geez Mike, I just hate to see all of the problems you are having. It is also very disturbing to hear a foreman try and tell you it is fine. That to me is very telling about what their response to...

Any experience with small-scale log sales? Here is the situation. We have just purchased a tract of land that has 26 acres of woods, a mix of pine and hardwood. I am thinking about pulling much of...

Greg, Just a couple of thoughts about your pond. You should check www.PONDBOSS.COM and ask some questions over there. A number of pond management professionals contribute on that forum and it has a...

I am sure your builder would know this but if you are on septic most codes require the well to be at least 100' away. Another note is where the pressure tank will be placed. Many wells in our area...

Good feedback and I appreciate it. The PVC wire looks like a good possibility and not to hard to work with. I am so new at this I didn't even know about that type of fencing. Thanks Steve. Bo, as...

Egon,

I have thought of the same thing. With the proper posts and spacing it would seem that you could always come back and add the proper wire fencing or what ever is needed at the time. So,...

I need some fencing ideas. We have just bought a 32 acre wooded piece of property and would like to fence it. We do not have any plans for animals so the fence is more on line of "good fences make...
