Ok Jim,
I'll take a bobcat on this hill and you take one on yours and we'll
meet in the middle!
I keep looking over in the Blountville area, and I'd love to have a
place in Shady Valley,...but that would be a realllll bad drive to work
for
my wife in winter. Not that easy during the summer.

Bobcat? Ha! You'll meet me in the middle in 6 or 8 years!

Bobcats are great for moving a little fill around, or clearing for a
sidewalk. Try to start digging deep, or undisturbed clay and rock, and you
will soon be wanting something MUCH bigger.

I recently was having a basement dug for a house, and hit a layer of the
HARD variety of granite. It didn't take long to realize that it was going
to take a few sticks of dynamite to get it to "leave." It did leave, with
the encouragement of about 7 sticks. g
