Wow, with the land and man-cave you'll never need to leave to do anything, you're folks will never get rid of you now come Uni time. Truly looks spectacular Cam I'm sure you'll be really happy there, and since you can see Scotland I can give you the auld greeting of "lang may yer lum reek" now. (Take it you do have fireplaces in there?
Sure the bees and pup will be happy too.

Good luck with the settling in and look forward to seeing all the projects you get up to there.

Cheers Colin! And yeah it's a wood burner :D keeps me happy and with two odd tons of logs to chop it should keep me occupied! :eek:

Well you have got one or two axes to use! Gotta earn your keep.

I do indeed, considering the ride on is broken I have to mow an acre and a half of grass with a little petrol jobbie. Took me 2:45 to do it the other week (on a Low cut setting) but aye I earn my keep! :D

A sheep will keep the grass in check with a lamb at foot for the summer months.

Believe it or not we thought about goats- but to be honest if the ride on gets fixed we'll be arguing over who gets to do it! Thought they'll not keep me off it for long :D.

Goats will eat the flowers and shrubs too. Stinky things!

A ride on is fun. You can keep most decent makes going right up until the cutting deck can't be patched any more.

Its great to do regardless of the amount. If you can find a source of cheap tree trunks, you can save your folks a fortune.

I'm talking with someone about doing some trunks for myself and getting it cheaper - so with any luck I should get some good wood cheap. Windy outside but the stoves roaring and it's lovely and cosy in here :).
