Lake Bowen 4/14/2012

We installed this great looking dock on Lake Bowen.  It is located right as you enter the back cove by the dam so keep your eye out for this dock!  This dock has a 40' walkway with post and rope down one side.  The dock is a 12x18 with a nice set of benches on it!

Lake Blalock 3/24/12

Today we installed a dock on Lake Blalock.  This was a great looking dock with XL flip down cleats and powder coated hinges and storm collars.  The couple just moved down from Ohio a month and a half ago and was thrilled to have their new dock in time for summer!  It had a nine foot walkway and nine foot ramp. The great thing about this dock were the benches with three boards on the back instead of two.  We haven't done the benches like this before but I think it turned out great!

The couple requested benches with three boards instead of two.  I think it looks great!

Lake Bowen Addition

This was a unique job that turned out very well.  We built a dock at this house years ago, but the people decided that they wanted a slip dock with a top as their main dock.  We added a 44' walkway down the shoreline and hooked the original dock to the end of the walkway.  By doing this they created an extra slip and dock.  We have never done this before but it turned out very well!  This was a challenge because there were some huge rocks and very deep water.  With little frustration and lots of laughs we got it done by daddy going down in the cold water and moving all the rocks.  We are going to put rope on the shore side of the walkway when it is stained.  Once everything is complete I will post a final product so everyone can enjoy how great this dock looks!! 

Dock on Lake Bowen

On Monday 2/13/12 we installed a dock on Lake Bowen.  The ramp and stationary were in good shape so the man only needed a new dock.  We unhooked the old dock and put the new one in place after school in the freezing cold!  It didn't help that my waders had a bad leak.  The first picture is the dock being towed behind the pontoon to the work site.  The last picture's quality isn't very good because it was getting dark.

First Dock Installed 2/5/12

We had a beautiful week this week which allowed us to get the dock stained so we could install it this weekend.  The couple that bought this dock wanted a handrail instead of our usual post and rope, but I think it turned out very well!  On Saturday we put the stationary in and had to quit due to the rain.  So today after church we finished it up by hooking up the dock and ramp.  We still have to finish staining the hand rail and put in the storm poles.  I will post a few more pictures after we have everything finished up.

The pictures below are of the dock completed with storm poles installed, stain finished, and ladder installed.

First dock of 2012

Today we built our first dock of 2012.  We had a really blessed year last year and hope this year is even better!  This dock is sold to a couple that lives on Lake Blalock in Chesnee, SC.  We will be installing the dock next Saturday if the weather cooperates.  I am planning on taking pictures of the installation process to post next week.
