It doesn't get too cold to ice fish for me. Was out in -26 last weekend.

I should really paint some decoys this winter though. I have tons of gear to fix/replace but that will probably happen in August or September like most years. I'm king of procrastinatng.

Whats the motor? I have about two dozen that are good for parts.

I will be inside all winter sitting on the couch thinking about how cool it would be if i carved a couple dozen ringbill decoys.

Class action lawsuits suck. The lawyers get millions and you get screwed.

Interesting, we've had our Pellas since 1982 with minimal problems. 3 of them don't seal as good as they used to, but they are better than the Anderson's my neighbor replaced long ago. Did your rot from the inside or out? Every 5 years or so I touch up the sash on the bottom with poly to protect the wood.
I also put in three Pellas in 2003 doing a remodel and they are awesome. They are a substantial better design than the 1982 ones.

If you want a number where you can write a check and get things done, happy to refer my attorney's.

If you've done this before and are cool with it, go nuts. I have difficulty operating in systems that are complex because the designers got paid to design systems by the hour.


Thanks for the offer of help.

I have never done this before. Today was a big day as I finalized my provisional application and got my official patent pending status.

I like learning how to do stuff, and have been told by so many folks how hard it is and you need an attorney. Well step one is done and it was cake.

I do not have extra money so I also like saving some money.
