Did you keep your air compressor ?

A air compressor is a very versatile tool/machine to have.
Since you don't need it to blow out the sprinklers out anymore you can get a miter saw, band saw, table router and build small furniture, crafts, wood toys since you live up in the mountains.
Do you have a lot of hard wood trees up there ? oak ? maple ? walnut ? cherry ?
Doesn't have to even be hard woods either, can be fir, pines, or Populus ( Popular tree ).

no, we sold it because my husband already had 3 of them. He is a machinist and grew up very poor. His parents invested in rental property and now own 6 houses free and clear and they pay us to manage them since they are retired.

I didn’t get married until my 40’s (I have no children but have 3 great step kids) so I already had all the tools you mentioned below because I like to do as much as I can by myself.

We didn’t live together until we were married and since he was debt free it was very important for me to pay off my debt which was about $6K.

We live in metro Denver and bouth 3.22 acreas in the mountains - very private and heavily wooded and never developed. Our area has not been hit too hard buy the pine beetles so we are lucky.

I got my very own chainsaw for Christmas last year - a 14 inch that is easier for me to cut wood for.
