Finished building my dock today and I must admit, it came together pretty well. The hardest part was building it at my house and then disassembling it so that I could rebuild it at my property. There is no electricity there yet so had to use a battery drill. I enlisted the help of my neighbor (and his tractor) to flip the dock upright after tying the barrels off. After flipping it I tied it to my truck and drug it into the bottom of the pond and put the decking on. Now when it rains it will float, God willing. It was a fun project and couldn't have done it without this forum so thanks to everyone who either directly or indirectly helped me get it done. I'll post more pictures when I get it anchored to the shore and get the gangway attached. The ground is so hard I believe it would take dynamite to get a hole dug right now so I will patiently wait for rain and then auger a few holes.
