Using your 'original' 220 and older equipment to build your farm pond is continuing the history! That's personal & special. Your business has grown exponentially and remembering those 'beginnings' / those roots are important. Many of "us" have immersed ourselves in following your dreams and passion. Thank you.

Your ability to see the potential in an overgrown site is amazing. When you did your walk-through right after you bought the addition, I thought it was a cool plan but said I'll have to wait to see. Well, I'm seeing and it looks fabulous. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, Chris.

Don't take your check book to Florida!!!! That mouse ate your tractor seat because it smelled Pepsi or tater tots. They are truly destructive. Two mice decided to enter my car thru the a/c blower motor. I turned on the A/C and minced them up. Needless to say the smell was gross. 103 in the Texas heat. My husband was going to replace the motor but by the time he took out the glove box he said "take it somewhere I'm not doing this". Property is taking shape. Will be a beautiful pond. Thanks Chris.
