SNOOK

I saw a few this morning threw everything but a hand grenade . Still trying to land my first.

They are on their way

Should hit the US any day now. Keep your eyes peeled.

Lattice



I hate those 4X8 sheets that you get at the supply house. I had some wood left over from the dock . About an hour on the table saw .A few left over screws.
The climbers are already added.

Repurposing





A lot of the materials I am buying are coming from a salvage yard near me.I don't have them at home .They disappeared with the last building boom. Pictured are used moldings windows and marble

new dock











 
It not a question of If .Its just a matter of when this place will go under water again. The price one pays for being 1000yds from The Gulf of Mexico. The last photo is the old dock.

Its not like I haven't been busy .I just feel like I haven't been home for months. Months away from all the things I write and think about.
My wife and I have been busy setting up a second home .Something I feel uncomfortable writing about.

This place was completely uninhabitable when we purchased it in May. No heat /air. Mold, mildew, a leaky roof. Like millions of others.Fools or lovers we moved closer to the water.












I joke its just another garage to fill up.
