Just need the water to come back up..More photos coming..just about done with topdeck and rails

Looks like a great garden site

I sure hope you get some water and soon. I would hate to have that setup and not be able to use it.

so is that area low on water just this time or is this something you deal with every year?

Really nice setup, that deck up top will probably see a few beers drank I would guess...

I hope you post some pics when its done and water is under it!

We have been out there for 8 months when we first moved there the lake was full it 5 feet down now..I have been told that every few years it will drop that much, now that Dallas is taking water out of it..Plus we have not had a lot of rain this year.....I am hoping that it will come back up soon this spring...we had a big rain last week witch brought it up a foot....
or it will make a great place to start a garden....The guys will be done with the rails today..There will be a lot of photos taken from there...The road goes on forever and the party never ends....Hold my beer and watch this!!

Lakedaddy; I am sure the local government will help you out by lowering your property taxes when the water is low. You do lose some use of your property for a short time. We have a local lake here that is subject to the same thing in the summer months. Alcoa Aluminum controls the water level as they maintain the Dam that impounds the water. Some of the property owners here tried to get the County to do just that but it did not work.

Either that or they raise them because he's got more shoreline!

I lease the land, I guess it is about 2 acers for $98 bucks a year, so I can't get taxed on what I don't own..The Sabine River Authority is the powers tobe here...But who know they might start...And if that starts I will have to say "Sorry me no speeke english"....The boys are done with it..And I will post more photo next week

Looking good Lakedaddy!

If that water doesn't come up soon you may look into renting a backhoe and dig your way out to the water!

Got it done..Just need the lake to come backup and we will have a boat dock..But it is nice when the lake is down...Got miles of wooded beaches to walk and keep clean

Come on water!!

Just down at our lake yesterday to sit on the shore and do some fishing.
Didnt catch anything, but i was a Great day!!! 80 degrees.. nice breeze...many boats putting around and spring maintenance going on...

Hate to rub it in but our lake is waaaay full.... prob over 100%. About 5-7 foot higher then last year, and last year it was full...
We should open the flood gates and drop some into your lake!

Cant wait to drop the toon back in the slip!!!
