Remarkably, not necessary... we sold our place back in the city to move here, and turned a large mortgage into a small one. Houses cost heaps less when you're nearly 300 miles from a capital city....

I hear ya Marlon! I bought a few tickets this week. Here is to hoping and dreaming.

I have a hanging plant area on the balcony, and the planter fills with snow and such in the winter. It is slushy right now and I have built up a small snow castle the past week or so.

Don't ask why, I just use a small gardening shovel and stack the snow/slush to amuse myself. I am going for height now, more than anything.

Now that is an idea. I will have to see what I can do.

All the slush in the container is frozen at the moment. It got very cold over night and it is not even close to be able to work with it.

Lets see a sand sculpture as well Alex. :lol:

It bounces like crazy but after trying a xxt on the same surface and getting stuck quite a few times, I have an all new appreciation for the Grizzly.

I screwed 48 wood screws into the old tires to give it a little help. Wasn't nearly as much fun as the Grizzly tho
