Pickering Dock Project

DAY 1- The Barge Arrives 10/24/07

Looks odd for something so large to be next to the dock	Ready to Begin
DAY 2 The Barge Moves Into Place
Steel bars are put through the Boat House for lifting	Still more supports for the house are needed
DAY 3- Time to Move the Boat House
Crane moves into place	UP
UP	AND AWAY!!
DAY 4- Taking down the Dock
Planks begin to come down	Then the pilings...Going
Going	Gone
DAY 5 The old wood planks and pilings gathered on the barge make their way down the river to Wye Landing for off loading, and loading up of the new dock material
DAY 6--New pilings going in 10/31/07
Pile driving	More piles for this new dock!
Day 7- More Pile Driving
Second row of pilings	Floating Boat House, never in the same spot.
Day 8- Pile driving
Pilings for the Boat House go in, an yes it IS loud	Boat House getting glimpse of creek from different angles
Day 9- Shaping Up
Pilings are not pounded in, but vibrated in.	We trust there will be more boards when it is done.
Day 10- Coming together
Adjusting piling height	We'll find out soon why the pilings are shapped this way...
Day 11- Making it Level

Day 12-Lower Decking
Decking supports go in	Future home of the boat house... a bit more sturdy than before
Day 17- Decking Begins
Decking on first part almost done	Finally, possibly to stand over water again!
Day 18- Decking almost complete

Day 20-The Boat House Flys Back On-- Only 20 days after the project begins!!



COMING SOON--After the finishing touches, a paint job, refinished roof and the fixing of a few shingles--- Photos of the completed Dock
