Afternoon All,

Thank you Larry, Rick, Rich, and Greg for following along and your kind words.

Since the last update I completed the main dock (legs added later) and a small shack that sits on the end of a previously built dock that will also have a small crane yet to be built.

Curt, great colors on the boards.
Barnacles and crud on the dock pilings look realistic.

I can all the pictures you've posted.

Curt great job on the docks! The coloring is really nice. Is the hole in the one dock for the crane?
I agree with Rick the barnacles on the dock legs looks real.

Curt, just catching up, those docks look great although I noticed you have a barnacle problem.  :o  The barnacles look great.

Looking great, Curt.

The colour and variations in the boards looks terrific.  One thing to keep in mind moving forward is that all the board joins should be over the top of a joist below.  If not, there is nothing to nail the decking boards to underneath and your foot would likely go straight through the deck if you stood in the wrong place.

Cheers, Mark.
