ahhhyooooo! the lake house keeps getting better!

So this was the original 1970-ish dock that was significantly damaged during a sever tornado / wind storm that tore through Nashville in 1998. The roof and structural supports and being held together with come alongs and bird nesting materials. The boards were all rotten and the entire dock was minutes away from being permanently condemned by the Corps of Engineers.



The new dock was designed around the idea of having a speed boat on one side, a sailboat on one side, and an area that you could fish from. The level of construction for the new dock is incredible. The entire frame is welded together and then galvanized in a huge vat, there is lots of aluminum, and the entire deck is Trex. This should last a very, very, very long time.

Looks MUCH better doesn't it?!? What does a dock mean? FUN ON THE LAKE! Here is a shot of me driving "Comet" around on the lake! whoo hooo This summer is going to be a blast!
