Most lakes are wide open. The ice that’s left out there is in bad shape... However, once in a while, you find a liake that has characteristics where it keeps its ice much longer than most. Found that one yesterday. Didn’t fish. Just drilled a few holes. About 6-7 inches of ice. Obviously, not great ice. But decent. We were in the shallows. But with a cold weather coming up, this ice on this lake will be around a bit…
I'm adding 30' on to my garage. Dealing with Menards in Antigo has been nothing but a pain. And by the time they tacked on their delivery cost, my local lumber yard was cheaper with better quality wood. You have to look over Menards quote's really careful because they don't like to add the tax to the quote, and they won't itemize their quote. Sorry, I'm too old to play their games! And I keep getting their e-mails from different people wanting to work with me on my order, after I told them how I feel about their service!
Yes, it's certainly a volume project. My brother and myself cleared the whole 200yd drive back and opened a nice space for a couple boats, vehicles, firepit, tent spot and now camper spot to use while we build. Only another 30+ trees to go. Lol There's something to be said about designing it how you envision it though, worth every muscle cramp. Honestly, the hardest work has been making level ground (removing boulders etc). Just got the OK for the well and outhouse. Good times, good times
If youre doing a volume project like you have planned it pays to shop around.
Menards can beat on price but you have to double check their quality.
Lowes has good quality and good prices but no Lowes up there.
The local yards will give you good service as thats their bread and butter and you likely want certain things delivered like windows, trusses, joists.
