Best Time for Crib Repair
This is the ideal time of year for crib dock repair. The ice is thick and safe to drive and work on, and the sun is shining, so it is great to be working outside.
We are out on the ice near Mortimer’s Point on Lake Muskoka.
Rob Borne, of Robert Borne Construction, is using his transit to level these docks to within 1/16 of an inch of the back wall of this old boathouse, which is made of concrete.
The stringers are going on today, and they must be levelled, before the decking is applied. You can see how pleased Rob is when he checks the level and finds that it is perfect.
He showed me how to use the transit to check his work.
Man, was it cold out there! By the time I had been there for half an hour, I was ready for hot chocolate. Taking my gloves off to take pictures was painful.
They have been working four weeks on this boathouse. Part of the boathouse had to be lifted more than 8 inches to bring it to level.
These guys do beautiful work.
