New digs - turkey and dirt (excavation - gutters)
Many of you know I that I recently bought a new to me, old place on Lake Iamonia. I've benefited from many of the contractors on this board who have helped me with renovations, improvements and various phases of upgrades (Steve Taylor, Randy Harper (Gemeni Electric), Jason Callaghan (Callaghan roofing), Mark McKinney (plumbing). My dad was even town last week and laid almost 1,000sq/ft of flooring for me. All of them have been great to work with and highly professional. I guess we'll give Barry some credit to since he is my realtor. Thanks to all of you guys for your hard work.
This weekend I became aware of the next contractors I need, excavation and gutters. I need a swell on the uphill side of my house to keep the water from flowing between the two primary buildings. Who is our resident excavator? Who is gutter guy?
Those efforts, and costs aside, the place is great. Deer and turkey are in my yard all the time. Wood ducks sail around my house all day long, and quiet nights on the dock with an aged bourbon can't be beat.
Matt was out of town for the opening of turkey season Saturday, so his little brother, bother's friend and I went in search. I knew my trip would be short, as I had to quit at 8:30 to go get my mom from the airport. We started by trying to locate birds with owl and crow calls but could not get a response and attempt to close the disdtance. About 7:30 we decided to set up rather than continue searching. I moved the team to the area with good visibility where I tend to see gobblers more than hens. At 8:30 no love so I walk out to hit the shower. About 8:45 as I'm getting dressed my dad says he thinks he heard them shoot. Not even 9:00 and they bring two birds to my yard. Congrats guys; I'm still waiting on my turkey breast. I've thrown in some other pictures of the place as well. Some of you may recognize the back yard.

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Re: New digs - turkey and dirt (excavation - gutters)
Thanks Folks.
Rocket,
I didn't see a PM in my email, so I logged in through an old notice. I must apologize to all those who sent me PMs that I haven't responded to; pparently I no longer get email notices when PMs are sent to me.
Barry-can we have IT look into that? Thanks
