    Starting a start-up white board paint.

    Re: Starting a start-up white board paint. This was easier than I thought it would be. I spent $80 for the whole project at Home Depot, I didn't look for deals and I guess I bought more pricey wood and stain than some might pay. Original surface was painted latex with a 3/8" nap roller. 1...

    Would you offer a 6mos lease?

    I have some tenants who apparently want to move when the snow is flying. Business sense tells me not to lease less than a year. The tenants have paid on time the past year and are counting there blessings on a short sale offer. Also seems to be easier to rent when school is out but then...

    Float planes and right of way

    I would assume there is some sort of federal regulation defining the right of way with Float Planes, but does anyone know if these laws tend to be specific to the geography or is it a blanket law? I was at the lake home in Wisconsin this weekend, and we had a buddy fly down with his float...

    The Technology Generation

    This is timeless. So I was asked to babysit late in the day. I warned the sis it was going to rain and parks and boating are out of the picture. This is the outcome of our wonderful technology advances; 6yr old playing Minecraft on my Wifi, 4yr old playing Mario on the Nintendo DS, and my...

    Do I take the tree down completely?

    Well, it is a very tall tree, in fact so tall I'm not sure I could estimate the height. There are many more trees like this within my post-war neighborhood (60's concrete and 2x6's). My next door neighbor has expressed his discontent with the size and is concerned of the day it falls down...

    Rubrail repair, got pushed in

    Re: Rubrail repair, got pushed in You are dead on Yacht Dr. I included a video of how I fixed my rub rail. As you roll this in, the key is to "feed" the rubber into the rail at the right angle, while rolling with the screen roller at the same time. Is it a pain in the arse, yes, but it...

    Rubrail repair, got pushed in

    Re: Rubrail repair, got pushed in Guys I finally had a chance to pull the tarp off the boat and get her into the garage. Attached are 3 pics of this rub rail that got pushed in. I'm hoping this does not need a whole new rub rail as it looks like it's 1 piece that wraps around the whole...

I was inside MS River Lock2, well I should say my ole man was and I believe he decided it was a good oppurtunity for repayment.

    Spring is in the air

    One of the cool things about living where I do, is the smells that resonate. I've always loved approaching spring as you can start to roll the windows down in the car and open them up in the house. Well being indoors all winter I tend to "forget" what spring and summer smells like until I...

    Facebook parenting (tough love)

    Well in the midst of this video going viral, I ran across this vid of a frustrated dad's response to really his daughters lack of respect and complacency towards internet privacy. I was a teenager not too long ago, I did some things that were disrespectful and probably at one time thought many...
