Best move i ever made. :hihi: :D

Good to hear Larry and best of luck to you

congratulations bigfish and fishchick.... you must be psyched.

i like banana boxes for moving because they're rated up to 40-60 pounds ,stackable with nice handles and best of all they are free @ local super markets.

Best of Luck :claps:

The next natural progression should be buying a boat !!!

Thats Awesome!
Congrats to you Larry and Fishchick.Best of luck with it.

Awesome, now you can have a nice plug turning shop...

Ok course you will now have no time to fish...... :fishslap:

Congrats to both of you....

Congrats to you both.....buying my house was one of the most satisfiying experiences of my life. Hope you both enjoy it!! :claps: :claps:

:laughs: I dunno Larry, sounds good, but,.. I think you will find, that you, (like me), are one of those "Pride in Ownership Guys", and will be doing your fair share of "fishing season" maintenance, and projects.. course sometimes I got my other half doing this: :lasso: :lasso: to "get r done"... like today.....

Karl....its kids that rob you of fishing time, and mine are big boys now.....the house can be worked on all winter inside and the outside only needs shingles so they can be done in Spring......don't worry all you fish hogs......I will be out there geting all the schoolies I can muster up. :laughs: The house needs alot of interior updating, which is no sweat....looking forward to it!

:lasso: <Fishchick

Larry, got a son 19 and a daughter 14, good kids, love 'em, but, keeps me from fishing more now, than when they were younger... gotta stay heavily involved in them teen age years, nowadays...... teenagers will ruin ya, one way or the other ;)

If I don't breath.....I die! If I don't Eat....I die! If I don't fish.....I will be one miserable bastard! :laughs:

When do the plugs go on sale?

MMMmmmmmmmm......never! :rude:

think: :think: concrete slab for the shop.... and once you have the building permit

you can throw a S-B BBQ "shop building party" and get it all done in a single

weekend instead of bit by bit in between fishin and work ...or next year.

then you'll have a better place to do all of your plug painting instead of in the

cellar. hmmm ..... just an Idea.... big guy.


more power to ya.....

Thanks Slip....I see Bassmaster got at your avatar! :laughs:

Not that there is anything wrong with that! :love:


yep he did at that :rolleyes:

I'll leave it for a day or so :exp:

agreed - far less work

agreed - far less work

is to plant ivy after you put down a open mesh fabric landscaper cloth.

then you can have flower beds and all that...

you can still have a small lawn somewhere that takes only a few minutes to cut

thats the only real way to not become a lawn slave.:lasso:

We've cut a lot of grass out and built raised planting beds. Takes effort and some money up front, but the result is blooms all season long with very little time to maintain. Mulch it in the spring and weed as necessary.

A little grass is nice, but the big lawn is overrated.

-spence

I agree Spence....sun burnt and short is how I like my lawn! :laughs:

Congrats Larry

I agree Spence....sun burnt and short is how I like my lawn! :laughs:


If that the case then I can share my Lawn Care techniques with you. That's how I keep mine...:D

Technique #1....Neglect the lawn.

Technique #2....Repeat technique #1. :jester:

Nope. Step one is to cut it as short as possible. Speeds up the fruitful rewards of a burnt lawn. :rotfl:

Larry and Fishchick,

Belated congrats.

When's the housewarming? :hee:

its gonna be huge considering the numbers of members here for the housewarming
