Going back to E. Texas - Horray!

[Texas Transplant]

Well, we sold our home and finalized the deal. I then purchased our 'new' home, in E. Texas. 3-2-2 on Lake Palestine, Chandler, TX (near Tyler). Waterfront, boat house/dock/etc. Has a nice workshop area off the garage and a utility building for all the lawn care stuff. Should be moving around the first week of March.



Sorry - thought I had re-sized all of them. Removed the big ones and simply left in the library. Take a look there, couple of nice shots.



This is where my Stratos will be in about 6 weeks.

And no, it's not 'dry' anymore. They had 13+ inches in the last 2 weeks, and the lake is full again.

Congrats Tex!!! Palestine is a very nice lake and you'll be just around the corner from Fork, Sam, and Toledo Bend if you get bored. Tyler is a very nice city too. Way to go. I'm seriously jealous .

Palestine has got some good crappie in it. I usually make the trip down once a year.

Good deal dude. I am actually headed to the Dallas area today. Going to be working in Southlake tomorrow. My company has a contract in Tyler, I am not sure how active it is, but we may cross paths.



Again congrats on the new "crib".

Great to hear it!! If you know Palestine, keep me informed of the where, when, and how. If not, then I will be happy to show you what I know about the lake and then you can keep me informed on the where, when, and how of those largemouths and spots.

WOW Tex, that looks great! Congratulations. You just don't sound excited at all??? Just kidding Tex, your excitement bleeds through the type and I'm very happy for you.

Thanks everyone. Finished doing the official signing of the contract and paying earnest money yesterday afternoon. Inspection this Thursday.



Donnie - I'm in Dallas this week (at the airport).



Dewey - no problem. We'll hook up after I get her. Love to hear that there are plenty of slabs in the lake.



The only problem with the lake filling so fast, as I was planning to do some 'structure construction' while the lake was down. Now, I'll just have to do it the ol' fashioned way.

Couple of other pictures. Saw the plot record yesterday. It's 434' front the front land marker, to the shoreline (lot depth). About 110' wide. Nice big lot.

[Donnie Matney]

Tex I am flying from Love Field on Southwest tonight. Iif your using that airport I will keep a look out for you.



Donnie

I don't fly in-and-out of Love as EDS does not use Southwest.

Better fix that post on the port side of that little boat....I think I can see light through it!! :unsure:



TOXIC

 

[Texas Transplant]

Toxic,



He actually had new posts put in and simply left the old ones there as the top of them provide some connectivity to the horizontal braces (the tops are still structrually sound - just don't provide much vertical support, as you noted). When I looked at the house/dock, it was dry, so I was down there walking under the dock able to do a very detailed inspection.



Thanks for 'looking out' though.

I noticed that pole but thought I was maybe seeing things and wasn't going to say anything it:unsure: Now that Toxic brought it up I can see where legs were attached to at least a couple of the lower posts.
