Progress last week included getting the sheathing on the first part of the garage, building the gables, and putting on the silicone felt paper. At least now I have 20' x 30' that is waterproof so I have moved some things inside that were in my driveway. It was just me working alone this past and...

After the front comes through we usually get a East/NE wind which results in no fish or very little action.

Agree, Vegas sucks, Went there every year for 24 years for work, don't ever care to go back.

I got my big one after 5 weeks. Was worried after hearing you didn't.

Thanks Jim

Wow! and wow!, beautiful pictures, I love that area, it used to be part of my territory and I loved every trip out there.

Well, the work continues! We started this build 6 days ago, most of the time was either me or a neighbor helping me out and my wife helping as much as she can (Thanks Patty for helping me realize a dream!). The rest of the framing on the lower level was completed, the header for the garage door...

They got that idea from our neighboring state of Minnesota, same crowd in Government over there.

Need at least 2 more months of good weather, just saying!

Thanks, thats quite an 8 day schedule Sweep, I will just be happy to get dried in by the end of October which I think is entirely doable.

Pete, my sled will have a nice warm place this coming winter, look forward to riding in January!

So far, so good. As you know you have to be on someones list at least 2 years in advance to get a major project like this done. I'm in pretty good shape for a 66 year old and I like to see what I can accomplish. This is like building a small home, it's actually a little larger that our home...

Friday I had a load of road gravel delivered (15yds) My excavator was busy so I spread it myself by hand, Took me most of Friday, That's a lot of gravel but it was really needed to level out the approach to the garage, I was pleased with the result. Saturday was framing and Sunday also, Put up...

You do fine work Skiroule! Enjoy your fishing next week.

I really like fishing right before a front comes through, have always caught fish and have had great activity. As for the solunar tables, they seem to work sometimes but full moon is a great night for fishing!

We stop there for lunch whenever we are in Minocqua, good food, more than ample servings, usually take home food.

I will figure it out at the end but yes, the major cost is now paid for. Excavation and concrete work was way more than I had figured. My lumber and trusses are paid for, just have to buy shingles and insulation. And a million other little things.........about $2,000 in Menards rebate have been...

It held up pretty good for the first big storm, considering that the sand was very dry prior to the rain. I knew I would have some erosion but it was very little. I will plant grass up there or put down fabric and wood chips over it eventually. That was a heavy down pour we had last night so I...

Pete, no fabric, we had 2.5" of rain last night and everything drained of pretty well, not much washout at all, I'm pretty happy about that because I was a little worried. The garage slab was pretty dry this morning as well with only a couple of puddles on the flat part of the garage which is...
