Hi folks, another update on my place at Moro Bay, added a few pics to the album Picasa Web Albums - Jeff - Moro Bay# Would have taken some more of the outside, but we are dealing with yet another flood. When I was there Sun. I had very little dry ground, today there is probably none.
Let me know what you think of the cedar paneling in the bathroom. It is a lot of work, this is some rough sawn that my Dad and I had cut years ago. The living/dining room walls will be done in pine that we had cut too. Planing, squareing and then cutting the tounge and groove takes a lot of time.
When I finish the bath and clean up some of the mess in the kitchen, it will at least be liveable. Hopefully then I can stay all weekend instead of driving back and forth.
Anybody got a cure for cat squirrels that are trying to eat my house? I keep patching holes that they chew in the wood siding and they keep eating. I have killed a few,
but there seems to be plenty to take their place. My neighbor is having problems with them too, they are chewing holes in his vinyl siding. Someone was telling me about a product he saw on TV that keeps animals from chewing on trees and shrubs, wonder if this would help?

In looking through some old files today, I came across some pics I took of my place at Moro Bay before I started to pick up after my Dad passed. These will show just how far I have come on this project. One other important fact about this house, it was built in the 50's as a houseboat, floating on the water. Nothing is square, nothing is plumb, and there are no common centers. The old fellow that built it was not a carpenter, electrician or plumber. Sometimes I think it would have been better to just burn it and start over.
Here's the link Picasa Web Albums - Jeff - Moro Bay, in ...
These were taken just before Thanksgiving of 05. Yeah I'm slow, but I get there eventually.

ok, I have a question..
How in gods name did you get the truck up on that platform?..and how did you get it across the river? LOL
I don't have any experience with the squirrels, other than
I would suggest poison, but with my luck they would chew a hole, then die in the attic.
How about some great big rat traps?

During normal water levels, there is access by road. It is actually an abandoned county road that runs through my property. We built the ramp to keep vehicles on in case we got trapped by rising waters or just wanted to leave them there. My old 71 Highboy was on the ramp behind the Nissan for about 5 years. That old Nissan has been there for 11 or 12 years and it still runs, smokes like a tarkeel, but will run.
