Wow, sounds like you have a lot on your plate. What is propane out there now? I need to order about 1400 gallons and I'm trying to hold off until oil comes down.

When it comes time to do the floating dock, I'd order the floats and hardware from Dockbuilders Supply in Florida. Shipping the floats will be $$ but the plastic is 4x thicker than the floats from Menards/Home Depot. I'd go for the land.........
