: LOL Well you never know. I like boats with pointy ends! It's
: actually my Favorite style. But I do like my boats to be
: different. That way when someone see's it across the water they
: know it's one of mine. :-)

: Speaking of which, Randy said he was crossing the bridge and looked
: over at the fish camp to see if I was there yet. He said this
: turquoise just jumped out at him! Most visible color he had seen
: on a boat in a while.

: Congrats on the new house. I am wishing now I had done a 3 car
: garage. Just put a stall on the back of the garage to store my
: kayaks and trailer in.

: Being in the south it's funny to think of a basement without an
: outside door. 99% of ours are daylight basements on a slopping
: lot. I didn't have a lot of slope on my lot so I had to dig down
: a little and install a retaining wall so I could put in a garage
: door. But I wanted to be able to pull in cars, boats, trailers
: .... whatever and work. Your going to love having a basement
: shop!

I could tell from the pix on the website that the new yak stood out in color :)

In the fairly flat midwest, most of our homesites are dead flat, so having enough of a hill for an exposure is somewhat unusual. Actually I turned down one near my new place with a full exposure, but only a 2 car garage. Other nice thing is the basement is roughed in already for a bath, so no running upstairs to get the the bathroom :)

Looking forward to having a nice warm shop in the winter with nice view too :)
