I also found an auction going on this weekend with treated 2x8's 2x10's and 2x12's. I haven't received an answer as to how many yhet ,but I may hold out until this auction is over. It is just so hard to wait when I get my mind set on doing something. I really want a large dock for my family to hang out on. My pond is 2 acres and in my front yard. I can just for see a small enclosed building or something attached to the dock to hang out in when the weather is bad and do who knows what in it. I was talking about cleaning fish and storing poles in it ( ok maybe I wasn't) ,but there will be room for that too. Anyways wish me luck on getting some good wood to build this thing. Thanks for all the help ,John
