Out, out damned dock!

We're really nearing the end of cottage season now. During Thanksgiving weekend the gentlemen set about removing one of our two docks. Since Handy Dad's was easiest to disassemble, they opted to leave that one for a later, colder visit.

This time they removed our dock. First the deck boards came out, then the captain donned his dapper hip waders and dismantled the dock sections in the water. He didn't find my phone, but I don't think he was looking particularly hard.


As they disassembled each section, the three men lugged the heavy, waterlogged dock sections to shore where they were stashed in all available nooks and crannies. Uncle B repeatedly got clonked in the head  in the process, but he was kind enough not to complain about it within earshot.

They also decided to remove one section of Handy Dad's dock (the part in the deepest water) to make it a bit easier for them to remove it when the come back later.

It's weird with one dock out of the water. The cottage looks nekkid.
