WOW, KK, when you build a home for your toys, you build a HOME! Looking GREAT! So when is the dedication party?!?!

hopefully end of March should be complete. Will be throwing a big crawfish boil/beer bash for all that have helped me....

Ice?....well any good TEXAS boy knows that the ice is in the cooler keeping the adult beverages chilled!

so I guess I shouldn't mention that I was out there in a T-shirt working with no jacket then? :D

We've all helped with moral support! Does that mean we are all invited?

Awesome! I've been avoiding this thread because we don't get to have stuff like that where I boat. Most of it is within National Recreation Area and we can't build nuttin'. I guess I'll just have to mosey up there from Houston and help with the beverages so I can get on the invite list . . . didn't say what we had to help you with, right?

I don't know if you would be able to tolerate our warm weather down here! :D

If I can tolerate Ghana during the hamatan, I don't think Texas would be difficult at all! ;)

Re: New Home for my Boats

Well it's been a while since I posted. Had a setback 3 weeks ago putting on the roof. Had an accident and cut both tendons and the nerves on my right hand index finger. So work has been progressing slowly relying on help, but it's getting closer. Will be in my cast and therapy for another couple of months!!

almost done - even 1 handed

Wow that looks great. I think that I would be inclined to take some metal window type screen and staple it to the rafters to eliminate birds places to perch and poop over the boats. Other than that I hope that one day I can have property to put a boat house like that on. Very nice!!!

Looks great - especially for a one handed man! Congrats. Gotta agree with JMR about something to keep the birds from perching above your boats ... don't want the buzzards to come and roost there!
