If the Commonwealth pays for your dads care, even to you, then they can use his assets to recover their costs. There s a 60 month window in which they can demand the return of any asset that has been given, gifted, or transferred. If you can no further provide care of him, as soon as he hits the nursing home, his assets come into play. While there is a law called the Spousal Impoverishment Act, it only applies to spouses and it outlines specific items or percentages that must be considered or included in the taking of assets.

I live in Pittsburgh, about 90 minutes away. For at least 40 years I've been thinking I should go up there for Groundhog Day at least once. Then the reality of late January sets in and I think; "Do I really want to be up there in the dark and 15° weather for a 15 minute show?" and the answer is always the same. So I stay home and watch it on the morning news.

Hot take, but frost lines from decades ago are such BS now. The coldest regions of the state barely freeze down a few inches anymore except during the craziest winters. Go however deep you can while keeping a good slope. Definitely at least 18” but otherwise you’ll be fine.

Side note though, it’s hard to keep those things from clogging. And they’re expensive. If you can possibly swing it, just dig a shallow swale/ditch.
