Hi Johnny
Drive over to Washington and talk to the folks at Greiner buildings. They built a shop for me when I worked for the city and were way under Morton for cost and the building turned out great. Might surprise you on the affordability.

Thx Dave, that's my long term plan. My daughter and son-in-law have acreage close to me. He wants to build an out building for his toys one of these days. Figure i would give him seed money to get started. Right now i was thinking polyester. By the way we camped at Honey Creek State Park this past weekend, this ex Ohio boy was impressed. Does Escape make boats ? Haha
Will keep Greiner in mind, My son-in-law was a homebuilder for 20 yrs.
Stay well Dave,
Kind regards,
jv

Been a while since I camped at Honey Creek. Used to hit the crappies pretty hard down there. Though I’ve never owned one, the Calmark cover seems to get the best reviews for fit, durability and longevity. Escape said they were going to make boats in the winter of 2018/19 or so and give boat rides at the Osoyoos rally but I don’t think it came about. I never saw any pictures of an Escape boat on the water. Covers have been criticized for “buffing” the corners they are stretched across due to wind and wind blown dust or microscopic sand in the air. I have no experience though. We’ve had ours under cover since we got them. First a rental stall about a mile away and then built the building in 2014.

What my last boss said when she was caught out in the rain.
I'm glad I'm retired.

We could use about three inches of rain here every other day for two weeks. We are 13 inches below normal. Lots of small ears in the corn and it’a firing at the base.

As far as rain i think we are ok here,but could use some. Maybe Thursday or Friday. By the way Dave, Cheyenne Camping adjusted my power awning in 15 minutes ,28 bucks. Cost me more for lunch. They could have hooked me, i wasnt there to watch, they didnt.

Like I told you they have been around a long time and there’s literally a couple hundred campers a day going by so I think they have to be ready to fix all kinds of problems. Glad it worked out. Do they still have that Red Diamond Reo in the lobby of the truck stop?
