Met a guy about eighteen years ago, fishing,the white bass were spawning. Musta been twenty of us scattered around. I found THE spot. Felt like a log laying across the bottom, I'd cast over it and slowly bring it over. Musta been a low spot washed out and they were schooled up there. I don't think I cast more than three times and Didn't drag a keeper outta there. He walked up and I gave him my spot when I had as many as I wanted to clean. Anyway, I moved, health got in the way of going fishing, stuff, just stuff. But, he's a welder and just a general I can do that kinda guy. I Was that guy, and I can't do the stuff that needs done,so,I went online and found him. My wife contacted him,Twitter, Facebook, whatever, I don't know about that stuff. Anyway, he came out, checked out what I need, and came out ready a few days later. Too far from home, so he stayed the night. He hung an awning over the back door, I've been wanting to get it up for three years. His answer for How to mount the awning Was better than what I had in mind. He replaced a couple of vertical support 4X 4s,I didn't use treated, ooops, and the roof over the compressor wasn't doing so well. Had I not run lag bolts thru pipe securing the posts,no telling if it woulda survived. The bottoms of the posts were eaten off so bad they could be easily wiggled. Daylight, a gap, as in, no weight on them. The lag bolts run thru the pipe and the screws in the flashing was all that was holding it up. He fixed the exhaust on the backhoe, not hard, three years ago, I coulda done it. But, he did do it different and I think better. Seems like we did something else, but, if we did, ehhh, it escapes me.
I'm sure glad I used treated on the other two.
I dunno why I thought this needed posting, except this place is kinda like my living room and you guys are the folks I talk to. I'm just seriously pleased about getting these problems dealt with. AND, I really hope that his wife and mine get along. It'd sure be nice...
