Great looking place Bob. Great timing too.
Are the lights on your dock solar, low voltage, or 110V?
Please elaborate.
Theo: I was a carpenter, then a millwright, then a welder. Welded steel connections often eliminate the need for lateral bracing, fasteners, and with a good coating will outlive us all. Top it off with composite decking: splinter free, non-slip and no worries except what bait to use and where to put your chair.
