Eddie, It was a balmy 37 degrees when I was making the move yesterday. Today the high is forecast to be 18 and the wind is blowing 20-30mph out of the Northwest. You could probably heat your shop with one of those Mr Heater ice fishing house heaters at the temperatures you are complaining about.

Eddie, Seriously, below 50? I thought you were tougher than that. It felt warm yesterday here at 37.
Dwight, nice project, I have loved following it.
I think you should enclose your barge area, something like this. Hrmm... How do I attach a pic? Sorry for my newbieness

tororider, just left-click the IMG Post box a few rows under your photobucket image, then insert it into your reply box by pressing "cntrl" and "v" at the same time. This will paste your photobucket IMG to the reply.

Ok, got the link, but I must be missing something with regards to getting the image to actually show in the post, oh well.

Trider, all you need to do is insert the photo URL (which shows in blue in your two posts above) and paste it into the reply box from the photo button (3rd button from the left above the text box on the full reply screen) instead of the link button (1st button on the left above the text).

t-rider, this is the link you have now: http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj243/tororider/FISHINGPontoon.jpg What you need to do, whether manually or how Bruce or Theo suggest is to have these ( [IMG] [/IMG] ) before and after the same text with no spaces. So: [IMG] http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj243/tororider/FISHINGPontoon.jpg [/IMG] If you remove the spaces, the picture appears in the thread

I think you should enclose your barge area, something like this. That is a real nice deck on water! The Pond Barge is more oriented towards versality of use. Pond work, underwater videoing, fishing, swimming, etc. require a more open approach. "To each his own", applies to Pond Barges as well.

Dwight, If I was doing one, it would be more like yours, a tank on water. Just funny to see what some other people do. Keep us updated.

"Slave Dog" link restored to the world. Happy New Year!! It has been bugging me that the first link Slave Dog in The Pond Barge Saga is a broken one. So I finally fixed it. I know I am probably the only one who cares, but that was a fun link way back in 04.

Dwight,
Thanks for the update. Nice to hear you're making progress and not frozen in. It will be fun to see how you put all the parts together.

Sunil!!! Where did I just a few days ago see your tagline? (Curl Up and Dye Salon)....I mean, I can picture it, but can't figure out where it was...
Family Guy? Simpsons? One of those things that just flashed across the screeen...almost subliminal.

It was from The Blues Brothers. They pan in through a salon window and the neon light says Curl Up & Dye Hair Salon.
Of all the times I'd seen the movie, I had never seen that before. It still cracks me up.

I think you understand how on-the-fly-engineering works. There is never only 1 missing item to go no matter how sure you are that there is only 1 missing item to go.

Thanks to you, Dwight, if I ever build a pond barge I will have to bill it as a Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn raft recreation. Next to what you are building, that's what the best I could do would look like.
