I enjoy doing earthworks and seeing the effects of the transformation. I don't think it's feasible to complete the Straw level earthworks aspect because of the size of a small pond. I hope to acquire machinery in the future to make lasting beneficial changes to a landscape.

small dry stack retaining wall
three scoops with an excavator
move dirt/soil with the loader on the tractor
trail maintenance for 200 feet of trail
eliminate a road pothole/puddle
add a small, simple trail to a berm
improve a berm
seal a tiny pond

YAY!

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!

I guess I've been abducted by space aliens. So unprofessional. They tried to probe me with this tiny ad:
