You say you found a peace of land Gonna change from city boy to country man Try to build your life with your hands You got to keep on smilin', keep on smilin'. Love it! I grew up on a farm til about 9, then to suburbs. Now in "city" but not in the concrete jungle sense. Headed back to my roots. No experience with livestock but gardens and trees, and building stuff - yeah, buddy!

What he says here about the various public surplus sites........we've had darn good results with it. Got a bulldozer with full forestry cage and a transport, dozer with less than 1600 hours and the pins just turned, the truck had 56K.....when it was all said and done.....even the work we did to tighten things up......less than $65K......

Don't go the Steel Building route $$$ There's plenty of Shed outlet places up there. Mine is from Georgia. Robin metal buildings. You can pour a slab and they'll have that shed up in 2 days tops. All metal and dang solid. Mines been thru 2 Hurricanes with no problems.

Checked the auction site and nothing is within reach but will keep an eye on there.
TRT - seeing a lot of buildings for less than $20k. House is gonna be about 1,500-1,600 feet they have some real nice steel house designs. Figure barn w parking and couple stalls should be about 30x30 anyway.

If you see a tractor in Illinois I can bring it down to you. There seems to be a lot of park districts selling tractors around here.
