The time is finally here for a permanent Shipyard! I’ve hired a contractor to erect a pole structure by my design.

It’s 12’x16’ with a 6/12 pitch salt box style. 
I didn’t realize at the time, there would be a 6”x6” post in the middle of the right side door. I started thinking if I needed that big of space to get something in. It would probably be heavier than I wanted to lift anyway. So that went away:-)

 

My part of the build is clearing the site, which I’ve worked a couple of days getting it ready.

This is a shot from the back side, after it is built. The next things I am responsible for doing, kinda make me feel like I’m going back to work:-) I’ve got to get a 100’ of service cable out of the garage, into the root filled ground and up in side the ship yard. The worst is yet to come. Since it’s being built in the deep woods, no one is willing to pour the concrete pad with out bringing a cement truck up here on our paved drive. So my wife and I are going to mix and pour the concrete with 80lb bags.

That’s making my back hurt just  looking at it:-)
