    Dang, your own dock. That must be sweet! How are the the maint. issues? Like a boat, is it a hole you throw a bunch of money into?

    His a fine gentlemen who doent understand that part Sir, I would even send him PM anymore, I didnt ask for his help he just PM me and now tell the forum not to help me and call me misleading about a program? I am stupid, careless, and non-tech, yes... but I am learning alot from this forum through constructive point of view not by rubbing people off so they themselve look good and shiny, Seaspark, what a guy u are, let other measure you by your action.

    I am trying to get a pic of my home so other friends can see my shed, that's all and I get this?

    So far it has been a next to nothing expense for maintenance. I've had to replace one chain that keeps it close to one of the pilings. The tidal range here is about 16ft so the chains around the pilings get a work-out.

    It's going to cost a little bit to run water and power all the way to the float, the end of the dock is close to 200 feet from the house.

    We pay property tax on about $40,000 a year for the water lease and the dock, the water lease and dock license is $14,000 for 10 years. So while we don't pay marina fee's, having the boat on our dock is not exactly free :)

    Forum for help

    I have always had the impression this forum was founded to enable people to help eachother out.

    So when people post messages like "my google earth picture is not clear" while they are delibarately using some other software to create this unclear picture this is chewing at the foundations of the forum. And wasting time of people trying to solve the problem a forum member posted.

    Be careful Rough! You pointed out your home! And, what is worst, your boat! Remember what W. Faulkner's wrote in "As I Lay Dying", Chapter 30 (If my memory doesn't fails), about the bombs dropping off from the grey skys....;)

    Mr Hough you boat looks a bit exposed on the end of your dock there, dont it get a bit rough at times. I assume that its exposed to the sea.

    Well I can see your house clearly--thats the one with the little red flag on the chimney but wheres the boat? --in the marina?. it looks a very busy place, a bit more going on there than where poor ole figg lives. It looks as though you will be staggering distance from the nearest bar,-- good one. can you zoom in on the boat a bit?
