I donated two old tires and Jerry cut them up and attached them to our boat ramp to prevent the sharp concrete edges from scarring up boats. We had the original ones there for years before the bolts rusted out. I don't see why anyone would build a ramp for boats with 90 degree sharp edges. My trailer is missing the guide pole on the starboard side and I have drifted off my trailer so many times and gotten scratches from the concrete.

Our light poles on the crossbridge did not last long. Nearly every one has rusted off the base like this. The consistently high tides have caused electrical problems because the wiring and junction boxes were installed under the walkway. We got a bid to raise the wiring to up under the handrail and replace these posts. The cost was just over $6,000. Our board will have to evaluate this.

We have received a final count of 235 bad foundation piers. We have a fairly good bid to do the work to replace these. Our board has hired our old friend and former property manger, JR Gimler, to be the project manager for this. We have, in the past, taken the low bid only to see that the work was not up to par. JR's role will be to insure we are getting a good job that will pass all inspections.
