Bill, glad you resurrected this thread. Great advice top to bottom. I'm seeing a trend since March, 2020...lots of people are spending lots more time on their recreational property. And lots of people are buying recreational property, typically within 1 1/2 hours from their city. Lake building is a big deal today. I've got more than 20 clients in different stages of building their new lakes. There's a lot to learn about that process and what's in this thread is significant. I tell each person they have two important jobs...building the dam and creating that living, breathing entity behind the dam, their lake.
