Once again, I turn to those whose experience trumps mine. I have an opportunity to buy a half acre of land in Virginia (I live in Ohio) at a very cheap price.

Time once again to turn to the experts! The wife and I have put a down-payment on a tractor to take care of the 16 acres that we're building a house on this summer. I anticipate burning 200-300 gallons of fuel this first year as we get the fields and woods in shape. As you can imagine, I'm not...

For those that don't know me from the PS fiefdom, my wife and I recently purchased 11 acres and are planning to build a house on it this coming spring. In preparation for getting the current house up fixed up and my doctoral research, we decided earlier this year to scale way back in our...
