Falken are the best tires I've ever owned, you give up a little lifespan, but they grip the road and dirt really well

you have to wrap the entire grade beam with foam, then just put flashing over it on the exterior to protect it..same as we do houses

I think I'd put down the 2" foam under the whole thing, not that expensive...around $4k

didn't notice the porch on the end, I'm talking on the eaves, big overhangs

always handy to have trusses modified for a bigger overhang to keep stuff out of the rain, but still outside

Live trap isn't anywhere close to what you'll need......find a local beaver trapper....In MN this shouldn't be hard

Midwest deer trees has a good selection for what I need ...I'll be getting some from there in the spring for sure

now I won't panic if I get the mulch too high I guess, interesting on all the conflicting info on that

If anyone else has any suggestion for me, please speak up ....sounds like I want M-111 roots, October drop times

I read that here recently and was a bit surprised, as all other directions tell you to keep it 2" out of the ground

I did get some siberian crabs last spring, and potted them....gave some to friends and have about 10 left to put somewhere

I'm on the edge of the new zone 3, heavy clay soil...right now I'm eyeballing a couple midwest deer trees varieties. Can't remember offhand what rootstocks are on the ones I have planted, but I believe most a semi dwarf, with a couple standards in the mix....8 Dolgo, 2 chestnut, 2 centennial 2...

I guess my concern is that standard rootstock will take forever to produce

I planted a wide variety based on pollination and drop times....looking for a few more late October droppers to fill in

just for the wildlife...I put in a wildlife plot this spring. .22 trees altogether, ton of work there, starting with what was popple woods that was full of 3-4" stuff
