I guess this is where I post this. I have been away so long recovering from back surgery I don't know how to use this here new fancy PB forum. Hello All I'm BACK... Thanks again Mr. Lusk for the Postive input to go thru with it. I haven't felt better in years. I'm down 70+ lbs and counting.
We are in the process of building a new home or Out building if you would for our Kids & Grandkids. Time to let the youngun's grow up on the farm like I did.

The Plan.
Design and Build New Home

Location one acre track on frontage with lake view.

Excatvation plan. Renovate ponds & use dirt to build new home site. In the process improve ponds for maintance and drainage issues. Sort of a win win situation. I give my son the dirt and he pays to move it. He gets House site I get new BIGGER ponds. Grandkids get new Swimming holes. Dad gets his own fishing hole. Grandpa gets son full time to do Grandmas honey do's that grandpas back want let him do anymore. We are all one big happy family now.

The execution.
The brothers are back and they brought all their toys.



First order of business make grandpas Pond Bigger. Existing dam was pushed back and cut to a 5/1 on front side for easy maintanince. Top of dam was shaved down to be 6 inches below house foundation. Water has been way to close sense we have lived here the past 14 years. I'd rather patch a dam than clean mud out of the house.
