Yes this area is very beautiful. I was born and raised in Marion. Unfortunately the power plant no longer pumps out near as much hot water as they used to. Couple years back they shut down the main coal fired power generator (big steam stack) due to EPA Regulations becoming too expensive to...

Sure am. That's the lake I built on! Lake of Egypt is the official name.

I don't hold huge brand loyalties, I just have never loved the Mustang look aside from the late first gens. Now Ford GT40/GTs, Raptors, and new Broncos are pretty sweet. I'm partial to a classic square body Blazer/Jimmy as my first vehicle was an 1985 Jimmy but I would love one of the new Broncos.

Impressive! Never been a huge Mustang guy personally but I can certainly appreciate/respect the time and skill in building that car. Definitely something to take pride in! Sounds like it is definitely a mean street car.

Wow that is a lot of shine! Looks like a mean motor too, I see that charger hiding in the background. Yeah the bellhousing came with the TKO 600 I have in the car. I was originally building the car to be a fun street/strip car with more emphasis on strip...my priorities have shifted and now I...

Been a busy late summer/fall with catching up with back log of jetski work and then winterizations. Have truly enjoyed every moment out in the garage. Of course I knew I would wish I had gone bigger, but that is to be expected. I don't think I could build a garage large enough to keep me happy...

One mans junk is another mans treasure.

We are officially moved in. Thursday was our first night there, Saturday we moved the remaining household items/furniture as well as large garage items. I spent Sunday piddling in the garage between honey to-dos and made it to the old place to get a load of stuff from the shop. Still have a...

Thanks! Yep, it is lake front at the end of the cove.

There's always something that has to go wrong! We got 8" of rain in a 4hr timeframe last night. Lake went from about two feet below the spillway to two feet over in that period. Unfortunately, my boat took on enough water to cause the rear to sink which snowballed the water intake once the rear...

Move in week! We have slowly been moving truck loads of non-necessities the past few days. Our first night staying at the house will likely be Thursday with the big move of furniture and large items being Saturday. Sunday I will probably spend moving shop stuff and attempting to get the garage...

Cabinets installed and counter tops on order. We are under the 3 week mark for move in at this stage! I've got several garage goodies saved in online carts from storage shelving to work benches just waiting to hit order. We are really getting excited now, if we weren't already before. I did go...

Started experimenting with lighting in garage. Picture makes it hard to show the true look especially with the windows in both doors and side windows. However this shows 6 of the available light sockets fitted with the style LED lights I am using. I am impressed with the output with just these...

We are located in Southern Illinois. It really is a fantastic view, one I don't think anyone really anticipated. These lots have been vacant and wooded/overgrown for decades on a heavily populated lake. Once in a lifetime opportunity looking back on how it has transpired. It has come a long...

Wife and I are nearing completion of our new lake house build. About a month out from expected move in. I built the 30x30 garage knowing I would be using at least half of it as shop space. I run a jet ski repair business on the side. Currently operating at our current place out of a very small...
