Just threw up a new vlog, came back from mid day surfing to find a whole swarm of people around our camp and a killer slip and slide! All around good times at the lake.
thanks for watching!

Sort of boat related as it will be its future home..
Now that lumber has come down we are moving forward on our garage. Pouring concrete tomorrow. Had to bring in a lot of gravel!
Garage will be 36x50 with 12 side walls, room in gable trusses, 12 high rag rage doors

Nice looking pad. Got it elevated well.

haven't seen one of those flying around in 4 years now.
your property looks amazing and that shop will be a fun place to hang...
Awesome! Looks nice and big!
Awesome! That is a shit ton of gravel. Better make sure it is compacted really well to avoid settlement under the slab. I would get a vibratory roller on that. Sorry, I am a commercial construction guy. Residential guys drive me nuts sometimes when it comes to backfill.Quote:

My concrete in my barn is 6" thick with mesh, rebar, and fiber blend 5000psi mix. I smoked 2 hammer drills trying to mount my 2 post car lift. I would throw down some 15mil vapor barrier before the pour to keep the ground from wicking through the slab.
Wow! You basically poured a dumpster pad. Not much you can drive over that that will Crack it.Quote:

I’m just using a plastic pole that floats. It’s telescoping so it can be long or short. This is what I use https://www.amazon.com/GPE-10-Floati.../dp/B00B3YJG5C. It’s not perfect or the best but does the job. I don’t think I could deal with a mouth mount.Quote:

The grade beam is 16-18 deep by 12 wide with two rows rebar. Concrete 4 1/2 to 5 thick at center. Wire mesh with fiberglass reinforced concrete.Quote:

Now those are cool looking! Did you put them in?

I did install them. Bunch if bowlines and half hitches.
Come on down! The cool thing is if you really want a boat and are examining all your options, you could do a factory tour of moomba/supra, drive a few miles down the road and do a tour with mastercraft and malibu as well. And possibly even yamaha. Theres also brunswick( sea ray bayliner, heyday) and supposedly the montara surf pontoons are being assembled down here as well or so claims my boat industry buddy who does fiberglass warrany repaies for heyday. All of these places are within 30 minutes of my place. So its cool to see all the options I have available around here. Come take a tour and holler at me if you go. Would love to tag along with anybody comin into do the tour!Quote:

This sounds like a great late winter trip to get everyone ready for the boating season to start.
Everybody is here, lots of industry stuff here too. My buddy trashed his prop on his SE, and just so turns out that the head of OJ props wife goes to our wives salon. So he fgot a sweet deal ona new prop, and dude told him if we ever ding a prop to just call and stop by his house and get one so we dont lose any time on the lake. If you come up let me know!Quote:

great pics scott. would love to spend time on powell but I don't see it happening in the near future....
hope it's around in 10 years.
Really good pictures. I really like the calm smooth. Do any of the reflect any particular low water values that you could notice?

Not sure what you are asking.Quote:

I'd keep and eye on the weather and if you can get a couple of nice weather days then go for it. Be very careful and stay in the main channel. There are A LOT of submerged rocks and islands just under the surface that you can't see.
Yeah, I didn't quite type what I was thinking. I meant do those pictures have anything in them that might show where the normal water level would be.Quote:

Yes... If you look at the pictures, there is a stripe where the color changes anytime you can see the canyon walls. For instance, in the foil picture, there is a change with dark color above the head and lighter below the shoulders. That is the high water point. In the picture where you just see the canyon and a reflection, where the rock fall is toward the back of the canyon at the top of the pile, you see a transition from darker rock to lighter rock, which is the high water point. The level we have been used to for the past 10 years is about half way between the high and low water mark.Quote:

Awesome pictures!
I hope somehow and someway this winter brings the snow pack needed to delay more drought conditions. I know everyone of you that live out here has been dealing/hearing/living with this data and life style and still making it work. It is a bucket list item for me to cruise the canyons and see everything and at this rate I don't think I would make it out there before they close the reservoirs to boating.
3rd week of September Powell trip was absolutely amazing! The beauty of Lake Powell is that the changing water level means it's a different lake every time you visit. The lower water level this year has exposed some pretty cool new features, some that have been submerged for 50+ years!

this picture shows the high water mark a lot better. The line where it goes from dark brown to white is the high level. I think 1984 was the last time it was up at full capacity. For reference on this picture you can see my son and a couple of friends on a ledge half way up.Quote:
