It's been a rough week crabbing on the Chesapeake for us. We haven't been able to catch many blue crabs from the bay and for some reason both of my work trucks are broken also. Really hoping that next week gets better. Luckily we sold out of the crabs that we have at the crab stand and one of my good buddies ‪@jacobknowles5421‬ suprised me! It's almost time to start selling soft shell crabs so I have to build a shedding tank to hold them.

For the reverse sensor beeper, there is a module underneath the steering wheel above the brake pedal that looks like a mini speaker. You can unplug that will disable the beeper. Won't fix the issue but won't annoy you :D

It is standard to be nervous as a business owner, but you have room to be more confident. You are doing great things, and people see that and will always support that. I don't think I have ever eaten crab; not sure I would even like it, but I watch all of your content. That should tell you a lot! Hope you read this just like you see the negative comments!

Raccoons can jump and swim. You might want to make a rectangle wood frame just bigger than your soft crab tank and wrap it with hardware cloth and then just drop it over the top of the tank. It would be simple to cover and remove and it would also keep any of your larger predator birds out there too. I hope that makes sense.

Get big clear plastic tubs with lids to store the shirts in. That way you can keep them dry when a freak summer storm comes up, plus you can stack them when needed so you can save space. Also, to get in, put a set of steps on the backside of the boat. I'd take the cleat off of your pick up area to free up space.

make a walkway/deck, like a swim platform on the back of the boat that way you can back the trailer up, and have enough room for an entrance/exit. Also add a 2x4 on end under the warped board for strength and to straighten it.

@phil-bay-of-plenty-nz Ай бұрын

leave a gap between the freezer trailer and the shop/boat then build a gangplank to the trailer lower than the trailer so in quiet ties you canclose the chiller door. it will also makeentry into the shop easier by stepping onto the gangplank to get in.
