Congratulations on the great planning and diligent, dedicated work. It all came together very nicely. When is the open house for the Pond Boss Family? LOL. Just keeping us updated will be house warming enough. I am anticipating your reports on how the YP - SMB fishery is doing.

Impressive!


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Unbelievable. You should be very proud of your efforts.

Congratulation, Brettski. You truly have many reasons for thankfulness. I'm very glad you are able to enjoy the fruits of your labors. May you have many more years of enjoyable and productive living at LNP.

We added a little bling to the kitchen; cabinet handles, tile backsplash, and trimmed out a couple of windows.

OK, so I joined PB a few days ago. BOY! am I glad I got to read this thread in 2015!! It would have been torture waiting for your next update Brettski!

I wonder what the cost/sf would have been if a contractor had billed hourly to build this place like you built it..... My guess is huge.

Thanks for the details. Hope to see some fishing pics soon.

I feared I would never be able to say this, but I am pretty much done with the living space. All the windows, doors, trim and custom woodwork details are in. I gotta say that it has turned out to be a pretty cool little fort. Time to sell!! OK, just kidding (at least for now). Ewest's favorite windows got the glossy white trim to make 'em pop against the dark burgundy wall color. As much as I wanna say that it is finally time to take a break and spend a few weekends of R&R, it won't happen yet. All the years dedicated to get to this point have forced a blind eye to the surrounding landscape that never really got done. That will be the next chapter, but I may have to talk myself into calling it a spring project. In the meantime, it's a huge leap from the 10' x 12' shed that we started in some nearly 7 years ago. It truly has been one long journey.

It's beautiful! All the planning and hard work really shows through in the end result. My family is preparing to embark on a large renovation project, and I find it inspiring to look back through this thread and view your accomplishments. Well done.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
