Decking the Dock with Boughs of Pressure Treated Pine

10 Dec 20:

Laid out the stringers, we have found that overlapping them makes them more stable and secure, and more area to secure them to the crossbeams.


Skipper let me borrow her Gorilla Carts and cordless impact driver. The carts are very versatile, the sides come off and they carried all the lumber for 984 feet of triple pier stringers and 896 feet of decking. They also carried the 2x12x16 seawall caps back from the neighbor's yard. Tons of driveway gravel, sand and several pallets of sod. Patio furniture. The handle can be reversed so it can pin to and be towed by the lawn tractor. Bought them at Lowes. Cart 1 has new tires, Skipper wore the inner tubes out, luckily Gorilla Cart has great parts support.


Should we leave the excess as springy diving boards?


Electricians will be out tomorrow and maybe we'll have a pier light tomorrow night! We can also rescue the flag remnants.
