We made some more progress on the dock today. The cross pieces are bolted in, and each one has two galvanized steel angle brackets on both sides to hold up additional stringers which will be tomorrow's job. Mother Nature added some snow to today's effort, it's real fun to be sinking in the muck with snow blowing around. Tomorrow should be better, colder temps, and 2 inches of snow expected, perfect for outdoor work. Mud has become a major factor in my life.
