After a great deal of planning, measuring, and work during the hottest part of summer, our beach area is complete:
- Armor stone on gabion baskets to complete the breakwater
- Bulkhead levelling project complete
- New picnic tables
Here are photos from Saturday, Sep 7 — with 15 MPH winds from the North, temp dropping, big waves, storm likely on the way.
About the bulkhead: Approximately halfway down the length of the bulkhead you will see vertical timbers. We installed 75 of these with matching timbers on the inside of the bulkhead — total of 150 timbers bolted through with 3/4-inch galvanized bolts. Horizontal timbers were placed inside the vertical members to provide a wall against the picnic area to stop soil erosion from the far half of the bulkhead.
At the time these photos were made a storm was brewing from the North. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this storm will add sand to our small beach.
Well, maybe not 100% complete. We still need to:
- Install a few trim pieces on the ends of the tabletops.
- Treat the tabletops and seats with a wood preservative.
