Dock Project

Another frigid day with blowing snow and bitter wind out on the dock
project. The decking is all nailed in, the electric post off to the right
is installed and the cables are run in to shore. Got 7 cleats heavily
reinforced and installed.

Tomorrow I'll mark the edges of the decking and cut it all even, and then
start nailing on the two corner bumpers on the end and the cushioned
plastic rub rail all around. It's really looking like a dock now.

Working conditions have been pretty bad, most of it in sub-freezing temps,
the mud well and truely sucks and never freezes, but the feeling of
accomplishment is wonderful.

Here's the latest photo of my progress:
