The rough sawn marine grade is excellent. Good stuff that will make you sick if you breathe in too much of the saw dust. |

We built a dock for a gentleman who was insistent on using cypress decking. I visited his dock last week and after about 5 years the deck boards are toast. |

Sunken logs are prized because they are old growth. The trees grew slowly thus the wood has a tight grain. Unlike "new" wood from plantations that grow very fast and thus have large growth rings. |

There is a good amount of it here. Cypress and Pine. We call it "dead head". Back in the day there were sawmills that floated logs down the Choctawhatchee River, many are on the bottom 100 years later. I actually know a guy who used to dive for them. I built a home for a man a few years back and we had dead head "sinker pine" milled into T&G flooring in random width and lengths. It turned out beautiful. We never applied a finish on it an I actually saw it last week and it has held up beautifully. |

Zeek Rocks. He's living a better life than a lot of folks. Picking on a guy for being under 6 feet tall is unconscionable. Height takes ZERO talent. It's genetic. Your life is what you make of it, and Zeke is living his best life. Screw you naysayers.

I didnt get a pic, but todays high tide brought the water line to within 6-10 inches from the top of the sea wall. First good storm with a good surge and he's gonna loose that wall. Too bad....he sure put a lot of time an money into it...

Wall will survive, it’s the dirt/fill behind it that will wash out….
