Building the driveway

Perhaps the single most valuable reason to have purchased the tractor is for road construction.  Being a small-ish machine, it requires a lot of passes to fully work and shape the dirt, but it sure beats paying thousands to some shady landscaper for possibly shoddy work.

First, you have to clear the corridor, including all the stumps.  It helps to have friends - big thanks again to Tim, Ron, Gabe and Jeff!

The driveway will go through here.

Our architect Steven drafted a real nice site plan that I could show township and county officials.

It's a pretty long way back to the home site!  Driveway is probably about 1000 feet long, in total.  Oy.
