Pergola, Wheel Deck and Boat Hoist

 18 Feb 22:

We picked out a spot in the boatyard to build a decked pergola, it will be one of our spots to enjoy the backyard. Right now it is mostly a mud pit, located next to the Sunfish Shack.


One of Skipper's Gorilla Carts was pressed into service to carry tools, then 6x6 posts and 2x6 framing lumber.


SMEDLEY supervised.


By the end of day 1 we had placed concrete pavers to support the 6x6 post and 2x6 bottom plate framing. The center section of the deck incorporates a 5x8 table top that we made last year, to use as a shelf in one of our moving PODS. 



We call this spot the Wheel Deck because we will paint a Native American Medicine Wheel on the deck, to create a healing place for boats that we restore. There will be overhead 2x6 beams to attach Skipper's hoist, made up of vintage Alcort bronze eyestraps, blocks, halyard cleats and Sunfish sheets with snap shackles. SMEDLEY will be the first customer.
