Is the gravel on the driveway what is referred to as "crush and run"????

It kind of looks like it. I would be afraid somewhat of chains on tractor tires destroying the gravel.

Maybe its just me, but I would be somewhat cautious of that. What about a commercial snow thrower that you can adjust the height off the ground with? Then you won;t have to worry about gouging up the gravel drive...

Jes thinking out loud fer ya.....

re: "I take it there is no city water, sewer, natural gas, electricity, etc. etc. etc. up there?"

No cable, sewer, city water (who'd want it??) or natural gas. There's an existing well near the middle of the driveway, though, and I'm not concerned about putting in another well near the new house (you saw the stakes, I assume.) There's GOOD water.

Electricity is available at street level. I'm contacting the utility to put in a phone pole on my land, and I'll run electrical from that point up to the field. I need to hire an electrician...

But, yeah, Survivor is me. Or will be, anyway. What's got me the most worried is how to keep the driveway free of snow. It's hard enough for our van (2 wheel drive) to go up. There's no way we can drive down it when it's icy. Even my tractor - which is what will be doing the plowing - will slide down that hill. I'll need chains on the tractor.
