I bought one for $599 in 2007 and it is still in the original box in our garage. We need to get gravel to level the place where the GH will be built, but I can't get my DH to believe that we can hire someone to do that. He insists that he needs a wagon for the tractor to haul the gravel up to our back yard and of course a front loader is also a must for the job.
DH used to buy from Northern Tool also and their stuff is a bit more expensive, but we found that they had better quality than HF. We were just talking how easy it was to do all sorts of projects, when we found the right places to shop in US. We have some nice stores here too, but not with such variety of products.
I was hoping to get the GH project started this summer vacation, but DH is spending his time building a log wagon. I'm glad our next door neighbors went on a trip since we have had sounds of side grinder, hammering and welding echoing on our yard whole week.
