Creating a Lake

[beppington]

Since when did this turn into a "gentleman's" forum??

As I have said before....my slough just doesn't have the same glamor or appeal as the "Lake" or a pond. No one will ever work on their tan near my slough. Sigh.

Eddie, you've come full circle. Now even you are posting snake pictures. I think you had to put on your tough guy skin since you had a pretty girl with you.:thumbsup:

Now that is funny!

Snakes and I still don't get along, but we where in the Mule at the time we saw it. Spotting it from a safe distance, and then having plenty of space to run away does wonders for self confidence and false bravery. The other thing is that I have a Canon SX30 camera with a 35x optical zoom and 140x digital zoom. Lots of zoom to make it look like I'm closer then I am. I was a good 50 feet away from that snake when I took the picture. I knew what it was, and didn't want to get any closer!!!!!!

She was behind me and even more afraid of it then I was.

A good story if I ever heard one...

Well if he acts the brave caveman, you never know how lucky he'll get!

EddieWalker,

Here are some alternate types of picnic tables.

The last picnic table will fold up to make two seats with backs.

Around the lake closest to Boise they have aluminum topped tables which have held up very well. The 'planks' are what you find in stadium seating. They are under shade structures so do not get too hot to use.

I as poking around looking for references and found some as well as lots of other types of tables on this site, maybe you have already found it:

I see stripes but no snake.

Hi Eddie.

Its taken me about a week and a half on and off to get through all of this thread, but glad i have.

Its been quite a journey you have been on, and is nice to see the enthusiasm and determination you have. What also comes across is that problems are mearly hurdles to be worked around. Everything has been throught through, researched, planned and re-planned. You havent been scared to ask for help for the things that you dont understand, and has been great to see the advise and support you have had on here.

The results speak for themselves, truly is a creation to be proud of and thanks for sharing with us all. Just shows anything is possible with the right planning and machinery.

A few questions, How is the coyote control going? What sort of size are the bass up to? and have you continued adding them?

Glad you are enjoying your creation, just surprised anything else gets done, i know i would just be sitting by the lake all day.

Thanks again for sharing.

But really, with all respect, isn't it time to move on?
respectfully, bb

I'm at a loss as to what this means? Move on to what? or from what?

Eddie,
I guess he doesn't realize lakes and ponds are ongoing projects.

But it`s so much fun---just today I had to get in the pond to dislodge a board that got wedged in the riser at an angle......Big dead alligator a hundred feet away.....but I loved every minute, although the water was rushing out, and wanting to suck me along for the ride through the pipe.....Keeps you on your toes Tony
