Shed re-float and ducks and smelt!

Well the shed was a little heavier than we thought and the back side was leaning in the water.  So we called TC diving and they placed 5 billets (foam blocks) under the shed and 2 under my dock.  It leveled everything out.  We finished the sides and flashing on the roof and I started the electrical process and installing water lines.  But we have a St. Patty day weekend party at MCYC.

Had to put two white barrels under the back of the shed to keep it above the water

Got floatation and don't need these anymore


The diver.  The water was high and a bad current

Stacking the billets




Putting a billet on the corner of the dock


Shed is floating high and dry!

Each billet can support 750lbs.  This weight is 720lbs.  When placed in the water, it floats just enough where the diver can dunk it under the dock.  Once placed, a quick release is pulled and the weight goes to the bottom of the river and a winch pulls it back up.
