Default Bulkhead/dock/back yard phase 4....

Been a while, but finally pretty much done! Seawall/bulkhead done, canal dredging done, sod put down and sprinkler system put in.... Next is the side driveway/boat pad is being widened and a carport will be installed to keep the boat under.

Pity that barge didn't "accidentally" smash into the eyesore and knock it down.

It's only half as bad now. The barge took out two of his poles and the neighbor for some reason ( ) decided to take down two others. Still looks like shit, but not as bad. Plus I kept my grand.....

You should have paid the barge operators to lose control of it for a bit and take out the rest of the eyesore.

Nice setup, looks great. Lots of work (& $$$), I'm sure.
