lol, every where you go in maine, it's all moose stuff for tourists to buy, like say at the rest stops or even for restaurants decor.. you might see some lobsters, but the moose seems to be the front runner.. i've been going up there for like 9 years or so now, and i thought about how i'd never seen a moose in all of my travels thus far, so decided to try and do something about it.. we drove up to the moose head lake region, sounds like a good place to start looking for a moose right? wrong, lol.. we ended up on this miles long logging road out in the middle of no where, and never saw poo.. on the drive back, a bunch of cars were pulled over on this small bridge, so the gf thought that maybe there was a moose.. she stopped and asked, and the people said no, not now, but they saw one off in the distance going out of the water up on to the land about 20 minutes or so ago.. i was so bummed.. we went and had dinner at the happy moose lodge, and drove home, still a moose virgin..

$9000 door today in the 'new rich' part of town, frenchwood hinged inswing. based on how the door went they would do the rest of their windows with us or not. so off i headed.

put up plastic over the entire room like a scene from dexter. removed the old door and cut back siding, drywall, and carpet all the way back the rough opening. set the new door flush with the interior and fastened her down with screws, shims and foam. perfect reveals and operation all over.

my helper put up the outside trim with caulk lines so straight that they didn't need to be painted. i trimmed the inside: 1x4 casing up the sides, a protruding piece over those capped with a 1x6, and the cherry on top was a custom routered and milled cove-to-roundover-to-ledge piece which i created myself. i cut my pieces to perfection and returned them to the wall with compound miter cuts as the beta hubby and bitch wife and their retarded kids and grandma all looked on. confidence level was 100%. it was art in motion.

only thing left to do was to slap on the hardware.

not only was it the wrong hardware (which they knowingly sent me out with and did not even tell me), but we were missing a bushing, the small little screw that is alan-keyed into the handle to hold the handles into place.

during the close-out demonstration the handle literally fell off the door.

welp, so much for doing their windows.

that was the only time i have ever yelled and screamed after a job in anger.

That's a bummer as they are really a regal animal.
I've actively hunted them for 17 years now and my partner and I have totaled somewhere around 19 bulls.
I really like em & our diet wouldn't be the same without them. : )

where I'm from you can see them randomly. Just have your dogs on mute .if they like to bark they will rush at you or if they have babies.

I used to camp at Kezar lake campground, now closed, in the late 80s/early 90s. There was a swamp around the back of the campground where we'd see moose every morning.

You need to talk sexy to them.
