Just left NOVA hustle and bustle and moved to north of Columbus Ohio. Got 8 acres with a pond, pole barn, and 1 acre pond. Down sized the house by 50%.
Lots more work to maintain the property. Spent 5 hours today mowing grass…loved it. Got bees, chickens, goats, shooting range, and can’t see neighbors. We love it.
Not for everyone tho.

In the Birmingham suburbs, area that's growing but hasn't quite reached there yet.
I've seen a few of the Kubota referenced with a front loader and backhoe for 1600-2000 used on marketplace. That seems to good to be true.
I'll only have about 2 acres to mow so far so I'm leaning toward a 54" zero turn. Going to check out tractor supply, they have bad boy and toro near me.

Same advice for a shop.

The plan is to build a bardominium in the next 3-5 years. The plans we have picked out now include a 2200 sqft shop.

Is that the entire slab, or just the part that's partitioned off for the shop portion?

Just the part for the shop.

I have a Kubota. But plastic fenders and hood aren't necessarily a bad thing. They bend and pop right back to shape when they get hit. Kubota fenders and hood just dent.

Something you might wanna think about is a lean to off the shop. A tractor with a FEL takes up a large footprint in your shop. If you have a lean to, you could store your tractor under the lean to. You could just put SB2 down on the lean to portion to cut down on the concrete slab expense. Just some food for thought.

SB2 ?

Gravel.

that’s limestone not gravel

Never in my life have I heard SB2 gravel called limestone. Might be what you call down yonder, but no one calls it there here. If I called down at the local rock quarry and asked for a load of limestone, they’d ask me what in the damn hell I’m talking about.

Had a guy come take a look at the pond yesterday. The way they built the pond and tapped into the existing creek is all fine, the issue is rock at the bottom of the dam, it was a creek at one point so that's why it washed out there. The spillway is also a bit too high and has crap in it. He said he was going to talk with his grandfather who does the majority of their pond design and see how he would fix it.
They mentioned using where the creek wants to naturally flow as the new spillway, topping with concrete, then raising the other spillway and filling it in. Shouldn't be too bad of a repair.
He couldn't believe how deep it would be when full, probably 25-30 ft deep at 3/4 an acre. I've asked them to include a small expansion of a shallow area for spawning.
