What a Year

First off thanks to Crappieday, Slabkeeper, SYG,Ginny, Fishin813, Hobo, Country and Miley for keeping in touch and just checkin in on me. The simplest message, text, PM, phone call or e mail meant a lot. About this time last year you all or most know we bought a house and had to move and many other things associated with it. My wife painted about 90% herself inside, my son and I fenced the yard, built a shed and my daughter helped me lay the laminate flooring. Been doing a bunch of small things and just keeping on keepin on. Still have a lot to do in the back yard where the old pool and rotten deck was, but just takes time. Work at Lowes took a turn and ended up working most every other weekend. Have changed jobs again and with the grace of God construction here picked up and am back Estimating for Palmer Electric. Anyway here is the home

And as you can see its a tight squeeze getting her to bed but she fits by 2" in length and 3" each side. Wont be putting rod holders and such on till probably late August, but see some of ya'll on the water.

Looks nice. Yea my boat fits by one inch. Measured 10 times before buying

Nice house Mike. The new boat looks good in the garage. See you on the water next season.

Looks Good Mike , Glad to see everything is getting shipshape RR

Ya just can't keep a good man down.............

Glad you got back into your trade and the house looks great. Don't wait til next season dem crackers and gills are just around the corner waiting on us and you don't need holders for them!!

Fine looking place.............

Thanks all! Lotta work and plenty more to go. And yes Bream and shellcrackers are on the radar. Have gotten through the first 2 hours of break in and done some fishing as well. Been hittin the bushes on the river, but unlike Andy all I been getting is bass. Least she is gettin accoustomed to wearing some slime and blood.

Grace was with you during the sweat & tears of this process & will be with you when your pulling 2lber's in on Monroe H.S.......One good deal all the way around.....hope to see ya on the water soon!!

Congrats on the house & boat, see ya soon:cheers2
