It's been awhile since we had this "discussion". With talk of starting a place in VA it might be a
good time for it, there must be someone else on the list thinking about staring out... as a plus it's not political <g>.
I I'm thinking a list is a good place to start, just something to think about, something to look for at garage sales, auctions and the like. Even sales at stores.
A truck is a good start, a trailer will do much of what a truck will.
A wheelbarrow.
Assorted shovels.
A pick.
Digging bars.
A splitting maul (use it for more than firewood, it's a big hammer)
A 4# hammer.
Chains (get the best you can)
A come-a-long
High lift jack
Hydraulic bottle jack (I have two 6 ton and when I need one I really need one)
Hand tools (wrenches, pliers, etc)
Hand tools (saws, hammers, brace-n-bits, -woodworking)
Tape measures (I like to find those tool sales tents and stock up on cheap ones, I lose the expensive ones just as fast as the cheap ones so picking up 5 cheap ones is a lot better than just one spendy one. If I can't find one then I need another)
Level ( I have a 4' and a number of smaller ones)
Battery operated drill
Anyone else have an opinion?
