Fish, how long do they usually last?


Depends on how you take care of them. Keeping them out the weather when not in use is the key along with keeping up on the paint, they will last a life time. I know of three that I built over 30 years ago are still used every duck season.

Wow! I've missed a few pages since I last checked it out...

My surgery went off w/o a hitch Monday and I'll be there Saturday come rain or shine.

If it not to much to ask, I won't be able to lift anything over 20lbs so if you guys won't mind helping me move things around when they get big and bulky, I'd greatly appreciate it.

As far as food goes, I'm on a liquid only diet, so I'll be bringing my own "food".

Now, how did this end up on the second page...


slackers!

Harbor Freight only had one 19x29 tarp, so Fish said to hold off and he will call his location to see if more arrived... will go back for that one if still needed...

They said they have three in stock. Told them to put two to the side and I will get them the first thing in the morning.

Thanks for asking!

Everything went smooth. Lots of discomfort from gas pressure in my abdomen after I came out of anesthesia but that went away fairly quick(with the help of some liquid loritab). I was up and walking around the hospital later in the afternoon and came home yesterday morning.

Still a lot of gas in my abdomen and stomach so it's a weird sensation when I swallow some liquids and an immediate burp comes up because they're exchanging space.

Overall, I'm doing well. Just getting used to nothing but liquids for the next few weeks.

Everybody be sure to remember to bring small bills cash so that everybody gets paid back correctly, if everyone shows up with nothing but $100 bills we could have a problem

Any estimate as to what the total cost per person is now?

I am guessing close to $200, we got any accounts involved? Starting to look like a giant word problem on the GRE

So we don't need the two billboards for tarps?

The used billboards are made of same material as tarps and are free

They weight a ton. Had a couple that would make you drop the family jewels. Gave them away.

I was thinking maybe some visqueen will do. I think I already have a roll somewhere around the place.

Yeah, the billboards are thick and heavy as shite. They also have reinforcing fibers in them so they do not split/tear as easily.

I find the old billboards much better to get made into boat covers or lumber covers, or whatever else you need to cover and leave for a while. Only problem is they do not breathe so you have to add in vents.
