How do you do that?

Ever wonder what it takes to build or repair a boathouse? Oh come on, SURE you did. Well, here's how they get the heavy equipment to the site. It's sometimes a long, slow journey. This morning I kept hearing something that sounded like heavy equipment and at first thought (hopefully) that they were working on our road. But when I looked out the other side of the house, this is what I found! These shots were taken from my deck looking over to Buster's boathouse.

During the last drought....

This was taken in Nov 06 when we were in the midst of our terrible drought. Beach combing was interesting but not being able to take the boat out for almost a year was painful! The water level now is less than a foot below this dock. You can't see the rungs of the ladder at all! Normal lake level is 322 feet above sea level. I think we were down to about 314 that year.
