Haven't been here in awhile.
Dealt with the Blight and the busyness it caused and projects bumping Plum Crazy out of the way.
Location is Seneca Lake - Finger Lakes Upstate NY
Long story short on the old dock.
It was sold with my old house with 89' of frontage (Converted cottage to year round) with a "lifetime use" lift - that was on a handshake. His biz went belly up and he lost it.
I still have 200' of frontage so here we go:
There is an existing cribbing that I'm building off. I'll raise the height of the decking to match the dock.
Seneca Lake is a Navigable Water Way (accessible to the ocean) so clearance from the Coast Guard was gotten along with the usual State DEC morass of idiocy...
Most of the runway decking and the cribbing decking will be recycled. My beach is the "Catchers Mitt" of Seneca lake for anything coming out of the North (25miles).
I have whole docks, swim platforms , loose Lumber, Boats and bumpers and buoys float up.
I have a name for this : "Float-em-ups". The runways will be 2x material and I may have enough to cover the cribbing with 5/4 decking material. All "Float-em-ups.
The trusses are from a house not far from here. 28' span. 14 of them makes a 28' square area 2' OC.
The style is in the Craftsman vein.
3Lifts
Century
Glastron
PWC - TBD
A 12x16 Living area under cover.
Seems everybody goes to shade after being on the lake all day so that's the reason for the roof.
If you want more sun, there's 200 ft you can go sit on.
The Glastron and PWC lifts will be Ace style plate hoists.
The Century lift is what is locally called a Schamel Hoist after the contractor that has used it since the late sixties. Most are still being used today.
My dock contractor has done most of the basic framing and the rest is up to me.
He was supposed to be done in June and just shoed up 2 weeks ago. Oh well, I'll take it.
So far...
