This is how our dock looks after a winter with a record amount of snow. Dave is determined to fix it. I suggested using the last of our M80s to blow it up. He’s not listening to me. Hopefully the repair work doesn’t kill him. Dave said if he dies to just set the dock free. I don’t think that will work. Someone would surely feel sorry for me and bring the thing home/Frum Helen Back, Hauser Thoughts.

It would likely be very much worth preserving that old dock. New ones cost an outrageous amount now, at least on Cda. A section as pictured would prolly have a replacement cost of about $20,000. It looks like it is floating well enough that an extra log here and there and some new decking would maybe get you another 5 years or so. All just based on my experience with docks.

It was a rough winter on the docks at Twin Lakes as well.

Docks are not cheap to repair!
