So....now you get to see what the American Dream looks like in progress.
I may remove this photo for privacy issues......but it's just worth sharing now. By the end of the summer, the bed will be leveled and be topped with a deck. The minute I saw this truck in a fence row on the back side, I had a vision of fishing with my kids from a deck on the back of this truck. I've already got the materials for the bridge and I've got some other ideas ranging from a fire pit to a solar charged bug zapper. Yes...It's going to be every thing I thought it would be. In the background, you'll see a dam with a hole it it and a pile of dead trees. When those are burned out, that pond will be repaired, with a 6-8" open pipe hanging into the big pond. I'm going to stock the small pond with crawfish, minnows and sunfish. My hope is that when it rains hard, it will flood food into the main pond. |

Have any of you ever constructed "floating structure"?
I've seen a design for something made of pvc and other materials that looks kind of like a palm tree that floats and is controlled for location/depth by nylon rope and a block. I'm looking at suspending something 4-6' below the waterline in one of the deeper areas. |

You would have to visit the Home Depot in a dozen different cities to come up with enough Mexicans to hand dig a 2 acre pond.

I have to admit I just sold all of my fishing gear. I did way too much fishin' and not enough catchin'.
Cheaper to pay $12/lb for Grouper or Mahi.
