"Big item"? Probably a new sluice pipe for under the driveway - I want to expand the driveway opening to make it wider so that it's easier to back vehicles into (it's on a bend in the road) - probably make it 30 feet wide so that I can back any of 3 vehicles out without having to move others.
"big ticket item" - meaning more expensive? All I can think of is a new roof for the back half of my house. Shouldn't cost more than about $1000 dollars or so. The shingles are around around $60 per hundred square feet, plus felt paper, an ice barrier, and nails.
Then, there's the garage remodeling that was put on hold last year; I figure $1500 to turn 650 feet of garage space into an apartment for my son. Just gotta get the drain line tied into the septic system, and I'll be able to whip through the rest of the job; but no particular item is that expensive.
