Good morning, #nostriches!
This might be the last snow we get this season:
I will miss the cold and snow. Mud season is a miserable. Spring is fine until the end of skeeters and biting flies come out. This year, spring will be busy. I'll be trenching and moving a bunch of dirt; how much remains to be seen. I need to at least a few pour a couple of landing pads to level out my trailer when I move it up here. My mom suggested that I pour a large enough pad for a patio, and that is an appealing idea, but, that is significantly more expensive and labor intensive. It is a very appealing idea, though. And, I've been also planning ahead and would also want to pour footers for adding some uprights for a solar panel pergola using bifacial panels. It would be easy to get 5+Kw of panels up, shading the trailer in the summer and catching a lot of reflection off the trailer and snow in the winter. Lots to think about. I could still put up the pergola without a patio, but... That's not as pleasant. I could also split the idea and pour the pad for the trailer and then use blocks for the patio. That's probably cheaper and easier to do a bit at a time.
