Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Im in charlotte also. the bug you dont want iS the BOXELDER BUG. Once they breed its inposible to get rid of them. Even pro exterminators cant do it. Be VERY CAREFUL buying pine straw from just anyone because often a bail can be contaminated with several thousand of these bugs and you never see them till you open up the bail. Then its too late. They dont hurt anything but they reproduce by the 10s of thousands and THERE IS NO WAY TO EXTERMINATE THEM.
