LOL, yeah. I spent so many weekends and days working on projedcts, during the week going up after work and going back to work the next day. Then the girls came up on the weekends and wondered why I was burned out, LOL.

Agree 150% on the maintenance free thing. When I had my log cabin, it was nothing but maintenance. I'm really considering some sort of barndo-minium type of building. All metal, no outside maintenance.

Although I didn't know John personally or your family, I did have a connection with him like most people that searched out his website. A love for snow and winter. I couldn't wait to look at the forecast graphic every morning as it came out. It's funny because I always used to tell people about...

I agree. Maybe why things don't seem right these days because it seems like our freedom to choose is slowly slipping away. Probably why I'm drawn again to the Northwoods, for peace.

I give you credit, that's dedication. I think my wife would get burned out after a 6 hour ride each way, she's not a car traveler. When we had our old cabin, it was only 90 miles one way. Looking back, should have just held onto it. Would have been worth a lot more today, thats for sure.

You have quite a drive up there. How many days do you think you spend a year up there? I was looking to stay within 2-3 hours from our house in Kaukauna. I just figured we would use it more over the years and make it easier to build.

I agree 100%. I am 55 and I see the writing on the wall. Even though my wife is kind-of onboard with the plan, I feel like I'm running out of time to build and then enjoy it. Trying not to overpromise anything. It would be so much easier if she were all in.

Very little in the Appleton area and 35F already this morning.

I 150% agree with your wife comment! If she is not onboard, with anything, even down to buying a sled, it's an uphill battle. I had a very nice log cabin on 5 acres for about 5 years. Admittedly, it was my dream more than hers and that's why it ultimately failed. I had to practically beg to get...

Northern Wi for me. Living in Kaukauna now. Been looking for a nice 5+ acre parcel for a while and the prices are just going up and up. Hard to stomach them, lots of flippers over the past couple years trying to make a buck. Would be nice to be near a larger city of some sort. Planning on a...

About 4" in the Green Bay area. I'm sure it will be gone by the end of the weekend. Sunday they are calling for snow changing to all rain.

Looked like quite a fire, several area FD responded.

Last time I looked at that cam, it was bare ground, maybe a few days ago. The last report I read from 3/18 says not enough to ride.

Hard to imagine this time last year we were still riding and this year, my sleds are put away for the season 3 weeks ago. I vote for no more snow this winter, however, I do get that we need the moisture.

I havent had any ads in the forum section but the other parts of the site are nuts with pop ups.

Bought a nice 2008 Yukon XL a couple of years ago. Towed my old boat ok but my new boat is 5k lbs and it's not as good. The real downfall is the 4spd transmission. I think the comments about the 8 and 10 spd are worth considering. I have a buddy who has the 1/2 ton Silverado with the small...

I think one other thing to consider is the value of the dollar and that the BRICS nations are trying to get the US dollar out of the oil business. The less oil is bought with US dollars, the worse it will be for us. This plays into what we pay for fuels or anything for that matter. In the end...

If your only concerned with going 200ft or so, you could save a "boatload" of money and buy a really nice trolling motor. Your defiantly paying for the Mercury name. I think some of the other brands are pretty descent as well.

Nice! I heard Ford stopped delivery of their new Lightning trucks, what a shame...LOL

pclark... Just discovered this. Beautiful garage! Very inspiring! I hope to have one myself someday. I am limited by my lot and it needs to be attached to my house. Might be 15 x 40 with a partial second floor when all said and done. I'll look forward to looking back at your build.
