...the third one burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp but the fourth one stayed up!!! (no singing)

The amount of trees being leveled in East Texas last year and this year is mind blowing

Shame those beautiful trees had to be cut down.

That would have been a nice place for a pool.

Sweet, congrats on the groundbreaking.

Tree huggers? 😁There’s so many trees in East Texas compared to anywhere in Texas there’s still enough trees.

I know right. Geesh. I have a bunch more. Plenty of Sweet Gums if anyone wants some. Either we have a metal building for storage/shop or we have trees.

Bob, keep us updated... My wife and I are planning on building one soon. Who is building yours?

...You make me jealous. I would love to have a big shop to park my boat in, but they are just so expensive now. I wish you the best of luck and as MarcM64 said, please keep us updated.

Looks like great progress

Looking awesome!

We just poured a slab for a lodge and one for a barn at the ranch, it is all sand as well, we had every concrete truck and the pump truck stuck at one time, started out a big nightmare but somehow we got everything going in the right direction and it ended up going well. I did not see the point in trying to bring a bunch of select fill in for the pad, it is sand all the way to Australia , we dug 30 inch beams a foot wide, went with a 5 inch slab with rebar on 12 inch centers, not going anywhere. If you don’t mind saying, how much for the building only ? Nice place

Awesome!

That sure beats the hell out of Rowlett.
Really looks nice and peaceful.

Liking it here so far, the people are great I can tell you that.
