Good job Chad. You've also motivated me to work on projects. Clint and I spent a couple hours putting the 4 wheeler back together this morning/afternoon. Have done everything except the front master cylinder, which should be here Tuesday. Hopefully that's all it needs and it'll be ready to go back home.
Got the receiver mounted on the side by side yesterday. Pretty quick and easy but gives me peace of mind.

You guys are great-- :-) I started making a roll around stand to put my camper on when it is not on the truck :-) Don't know how stout to make it- sooo as stout as possible I guess.

I dug a trench from my house to my shed, and ran conduit to an electrical outlet. I haven't yet pulled cable in, but since we have purchased a swimming pool, I want to have an outlet close by to prevent having an extension cord across the yard for the whole summer. We continue to stain the fence, we are finally getting to the small "trailer fence" and to the back wall of the main fence. Some day we may even get the inside done, but I am in no hurry to get that done.

I plan to T off at the middle of the run to the shed, and snake another run of conduit to the front of our deck, so I can plug the grill in, instead of having to run an extension cord across the deck each time I want to use it.

No kidding!
I got all of the conduit buried, all electrics hooked up, and tested, and buttoned up.
We called Terry to ask if he had any thoughts on how to level our back yard for an above ground pool, and he said he would be right up. He pulled into the yard with his cute little tractor and front end loader, and skimmed the top off the ground, about 8 or so inches deep on one side and about 2 on the other. we still have a lot of dirt work to do, but now we wont be fighting the sod layer. That was a lot more in depth than I was expecting. of course I wasn't sure how we were going to do it to be certain. We need to order a bunch of sand now, or find a place to go get several truck loads.
