The deck, the garden shed and my new driveway would all require permits. There is a $300 refundable fee just for the culvert, which i found out is rather expansive to build. Can you say "monopoly".... i also want to paved my driveway, but that would be quite a few tools worth of my budget, gulp!! But in the end, all of these improvements have been in the plans ever since we bought this place. I will just do it phase by phase over a few years to afford it all. But we want to enjoy it soonest...before moving on<br /><br />Bob, who has a spreadsheet going for his bright plans :-)Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-71610143325858336632017-05-11T06:16:40.330-03:002017-05-11T06:16:40.330-03:00Matt

Once we finally moved, we will keep the Veg-Trug, but maybe a smaller version. They make a small one for balcony if you live in a condo or appartment.<br />Likewise, i will keep a small hand tool kits with me<br /><br />Bob, planing his retirement years<br /><br />Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-61232153538556635212017-05-11T06:11:18.570-03:002017-05-11T06:11:18.570-03:00Hi Sylvain

Therefore we want to enjoy it soonest. I will then divert funds from my tool budget for a while to make it happen soonest .<br />I should add that Jean grew up on a greenhouse so she has "many ideas" about my yard :-)<br /><br />Bob, the landscaper who could not do it without his tractor Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-35788116314077566432017-05-11T05:26:54.581-03:002017-05-11T05:26:54.581-03:00Did you have to make two trips with the seeds?
