blkandst started this post back in June 2019. It would be a good gesture if he would come back and show us his progress on the home build near his pond. Better yet would be to contact PBoss editor - Lusk and both of them create a magazine article about 'blkandst' building a house next to a pond. How come so many members come in, get some suggestions from experienced people, and get very valuable FREE advice and then the member disappears??
