Rain - On Lake Hartwell ??
 

I'm not saying that when it rains here, it rains all over the world,
but I didn't think there was much in the US that was in a drought
condition.

We have a green belt (wooded) behind our house. It was designated as
wetlands when the subdivision was first plotted. It is probably 150
feet deep.

Since Christmas the area has had small pools of water. We have
certainly had our share of rain here.

This spring, 50-pound mosquitoes and 200-pound horseflies. Better sell now!

Nah, the cold weather, if it come, will kill the *******s.

But we will be selling once my son is done with
college........hopefully in 2010.
By that time my daughter will be on her own. We will be downsizing
from this 3,800 square foot house to a single story with walk out
basement on the Huron Lagoons....or a condo on the Vermilion River.

Good lord - 3900 square feet?

Damn...

3,800 of living area *including* our finished basement. We designed
the basement so it could easily be converted into an in-law suite as it
has a full bath, kitchen area (less stove and only a bar fridge) and
TV/sitting area. The rest is a playroom with pool table, foosball and
pinball. The unfinished area includes closets and my workroom.

With both kids soon gone we do not need this size of house and will
definitely get something smaller.

I didn't need 3900 square feet and I had four. :)

Wow...


We didn't either.

I grew up in a small bungalow and then a modest 4 bedroom ranch with my
4 sisters. We had a pond in the back that my dad dug. We skated on it
during the winter. My good friend down the road had a big hill in his
backyard we used for sledding. It had a nice open space at the bottom
of the hill and played baseball and football on. My buddy next door
had a basketball hoop that was great for 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 games,
including HORSE. We spent a lot of time outside.

I probably had more fun in that house (1 tv, 1 telephone) than my kids
did in this house.

But you only live once and the house has appreciated nicely since we
built it. ;-)

Yep - I was down on Saturday and saw that the lake had come up a bit. I
hope they get my riprap installed before it is full again :-)

Lake Murray here in SC is finally back up to near full pool. It's
been down for over two years as they reinforced the dam. I was out
last Saturday, and we've got our lake back!

Carlyle is a semi man-made lake, that is fed by the Kaskaskia river
that was dammed up in the early 50's., and the lake is shallow in some
places, but not bad, that is IF you know where to go.
Basicly though, it's either full, or fuller.

I like lake Murray, We use to live in Lexington and used that marina by
the dam to launch from. It was great because it was so close to the house.

We were there when they droped the lake to kill the hydrilla that was
choking the shallows, did that work out ?
