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.

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.

I�ve only posted 14 times in 10 years, but this is worth post #15. Great job, Brettski. You should both be very proud of your work.

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.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

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.

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.

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.
