I left my employer 3 weeks ago to focus on my business and the new homestead. Things have been busy. Our driveway is a quarter mile to the top of the ridge. Last winter was a bugger to plow with a total of 138 inches of snow so I bought a tractor and added a snow blower for the front. This week we gave the whole thing a new layer and laid re-claimed asphalt for the last 100 yards (where it washed out the worst.) A rock bed was added to the bottom to stop the erosion. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nr7Qs04.jpg) We cleared a quarter acre space for a garden and we grew a ton of food so we have been busy harvesting and pickling and canning and freeze drying the bounty. Digging a root cellar is on the list of chores for the backhoe .I built a small pantry for my wife but its filling fast. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/mCQoQr0.jpg) I found a larger propane tank for the house and Generac whole home backup power system so we got that installed. The old tank will be used to heat the new headquarter for my company. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/nnjuFcn.jpg) The building is coming along with some of the concrete work completed. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/U6X6WFd.jpg) I found time to grab the bow and get some meat to go with all the veggies. Im targeting the biggest and oldest does as there are several old grannys they have not had a fawn in 2 years so the useless eaters will end up in the freezer. I have another doe tag and 2 buck tags so I will be firing up the meat grinder, sausage stuffer, smoker and dehydrator. Im fresh out of deer jerky. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/JNaC3Uw.jpg) I had not left the property in nearly 2 weeks. My wife thinks thats odd so one day she asked me to take the days orders into the post office in town. I dont know how I found time to work for somebody else. Working for me takes all day.  Days go by very fast now. Ive still not tackled that mountain of firewood but I did get my hands on 3 dozen wood pallets to stack some on to get it off the ground. Now this might seem mean but this thread is going to cause renegade50 to loose his chit. Its going to cause a snow flake melt down. Get ready for an epic tantrum.

Perhaps someone knows who to contact on the archery forum so they might track him down... to discuss his "business".

Why are you pissing on this guy? It doesn’t provide anything of value.

Looks like your living well congrats. I just did my driveway and put in a 60×100 foot parking area down back to park my equipment on. I was going to use crushed stone my friend recommended the milling. Cheaper and it packs down better. In the spring he's going to hit it with the roller after it's settled and I will seal coat it

I just ordered three loads of millings @ $350 delivered to the top of our mountain.
18-20 tons each (no scales involved).
Driver has to pay $100 per load to the VDOT contractor doing the repaving work... so a $250 profit per load (less fuel and truck wear).
That amount of 21b would be north of $800 per.
I am satisfied... may order 20 more loads depending.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

In all your life haven't you done just one thing that was a little bit iffy...or just a tad shady.
I have...and I am fresh out of stones. Same here... I do sketchy chit all the time... Asking permission from .GOV has never really been high on my to-do list. In fairness to Renny... Apparently the OP was on a high horse about baiting and poaching... then the OP got busted for same.

two things to the op
one - its clear you don't mind putting in the work and it pays off
and it looks like you are living your best life
I think every man wants to have a long road going back to his place and some self reliance living off the land. Only a lucky few get to pull it off.
Don't know the rest of the history with the poaching stuff so I'll let others comment on it.
