gp100357: Good idea with the gutter covers and the natural finish on the deck. Keep it as low maintainance as possible. Leaves plenty of time for the important things. I usually try to get over to Smith Mountain Lake for a spring and a fall tournament each year. What lakes are near you? I also fished another lake in Va., but I don't remember it's name. It was just off of I-81, not too far from Bluefield. Good luck ~ shao
