Wow a steel culvert must have set you back some. Way better in the long run than a plastic one. Anyway, your property looks beautiful.
Wow a steel culvert must have set you back some. Way better in the long run than a plastic one. Anyway, your property looks beautiful.Technically not an item, but recently did a purchase which totaled to $10,994.60.
Got a road built and a section of land cleared. I did buy a culvert, so guess that counts as an item I bought.
$8,650 for the land clearing and culvert, and $2,344.60 for 3 gravel loads.
The best part of all this is I stayed more or less within my 10k budget, it took 4 days instead of the original 2 I planed for but there was a lot of extra work that I did not anticipate in the original plan, but it just made sense to do it while they had the equipment out there. The ground was very rocky which made it difficult to flatten it as is or to even dig much, so had to bring in material from another part of the property that was not as rocky. I kinda got lucky that material was there and easily accessible. They must have moved like 50 dump trailer loads of it so that would have cost a lot if I had to buy it.
Due to the ground the outhouse and especially septic is going to be a challenge though, but I will figure that out at another time. There are options for doing a raised septic system and can do a compost outhouse as a temp measure.

Very worse case scenario though I'll just do a mound setup. When I build my cabin I plan to do multi storey so I will just put all the plumbing on 2nd floor so there's enough height to flow to the septic.

That's a silly idea, and it wouldn't work. Unless you want frozen pipes, the drain needs to leave the building below the frost line. Usually with a mound system you just use a pump, it's quite common.
Finally a decent purchase in this thread.View attachment 101885

If the is half off then you should use more rope.20'x30' heavy duty tarp and some yellow rope from Tooltown. Tarp was a little over half off, so I couldn't resist.
@Red Squirrel I'm sure you know this, but at 8 mil, I'm guessing it's not breathable. That should be fine for your purposes just beware of condensation.
I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the D handle blade. I'm using one from Ontario knife that I like a lot.A couple Imacasa's. Nothing fancy. Don't even come with a working edge, just the primary grind. Should show up at the house any minute now.
