Whew.  I was going to type up a PM tonight.

My first thought... fish house!  Kick butt!

then I got to a computer where I could see the pictures.  Uh oh.

I was thinking... well, let's start with the foundation.

Good one.
I've already gotten a few PMs along those lines, LOL, but everyone was politely concerned and none went "OMG THAT'S NUTS!"

What kills me is that in the thread I linked, there's a photo where it appears the guy hammered square-drive screws as nails?! And I can't believe they were able to stand on the roof while laying shingles!

I knew it had to be a late April fools joke, hence why I didn't reply because I thought something seemed a bit "fishy" about this post ;)

I can't believe someone actually built that and posted pictures of it. Me thinks there had to be more empty beers used in that construction than nails lol

The person who took the pictures was the renter of the house on the property. It was the landlord building it as a "storage shed".

Good use of the forums new favorite word.  ;) I figured some who'd seen my tank stand builds from the past wouldn't buy it as my work.

If this was something you actually where building, my impression of you was going down several notches. Lol. I knew you couldn't possibly be building that and proudly showing it off.  ;D

Funny you mention that... before the truth was told... part of my conversation contained... " I thought he was a smarter guy than that."

I just stumbled upon this and I could tell from the first picture it wasn't anything done by Ron, sure i have only met him once but you can tell a lot about a man from one conversation, and the work done on this "project" wasnt good enough for a goat chicken or a goldfish

Go back and reread it bud. I think you misses a couple key points of this.
