A close friend finally got our cabin screen doors built/installed. I think they look nice. The carpenter is a semi-retired guy that is good with wood. He made these doors from scratch. His pricing was crazy... I told him "Al this isn't 1955"and paid him more.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Thanks guys...as we approach the finish line this summer it gets to be more fun. They look great!
What's the story behind the bread signs? ...just trying to create the feel of an old vintage cabin. I got lucky and found a lady on e-bay that had some original bread sign door-pulls and she was not asking market value. These were still in the old wax paper and she said they had been in her attic for years. Then I found this guy in Canada that is re-creating the door-push that goes on the inside of a screen-door. He does really nice work. http://www.ebay.com/sch/awesomepushbars/...=p2047675.l2562

Beautiful......all of it!
"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.

Thanks AL... mnfish and RAH, Our long time friend/carpenter also named Al is a true artist. Al is never in a hurry and likes to work alone. Here he is hard at work. (just wish he'd give up smoking so he can stick around longer)

Zep, is this a new pond? Was wondering, were these fish listed all added this same day? And what size were the stocked fish? And you have done out outstanding job on the cabin Tracy
Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.

Thanks Tracy....my late brother deserves a lot of the cabin credit,
but I am finishing them up trying to live up to his standards.
On the fish....
One newer 1/2 acre pond...
One 4 acre pond & one tank about 8 years old
One small tank 30+ years old.
Yes Overton's dropped them all yesterday.
Some different fish went in different ponds.
I try to get adult size when possible.
Hoping adult size have better chance at not getting eaten.
Of course the fatheads are just snacks.

WOW, A great place and thanks for sharing the pic's, Ideas, and where to find unique items. I know you are proud and living many a persons dream. Add all the memories coming with family and friends and and maybe a family legacy will be born!!! Fun no matter what.
Overtons is great IMHO, and I bet you will be proud for the fish you grow and catch.
Life is more fun with a pole in your hand.

Glad you got your fish Mark. Did Walt say if they're still backed up? I bet this weather has made deliveries tough to schedule.
