Gary Ferguson organized yet another work bee on the docks on Saturday June 6 for 3 hours. The crew of volunteers accomplished the following:
- Repaired, tether chained, and installed 4 major air tank floats under the west dock system.
- Bolted down the pump-out motor housing.
- Relocated picnic tables around the stone yard.
- Placed the cement block and timber logs as a fence along the west side parking lot.
- West end of west dock replace electrical trough cover.
- Leveled out the concrete chunk wall along the south side of the entire parking lot.
- Installed sign posts at the driveway entry to LYC/LYSS property. New signs on order for the entry and the PRIVATE docks signage.
- Raised up the west dock hinged ramp, thus easier slope to walk.
- Further cleaning of the shed.
- 3 red safety ladders weld repaired and re-installed around the steel sea wall by Chris Sekenske and Company.
These work bees “work” because of the following volunteers: Pat Brugger, Alex Zaydel, Dave Golder, Jim McGee, Jim Chico Ricklefs, Andy Hamilton, Chris Sekenske
The days leading up to the work bee saw Dick Hubbard, Steve Wegener, and Jeff Yeager (soon to be a new member) putting in daily work hours to make all things yard and docks more presentable. The entire docks system was water sealed last week.
Still to be accomplished is the electrical repair of the pump-out (currently not usable), the construction of a hinged ramp leading onto the east docks (recently completed by Gary Ferguson and Steve Wegener), and installation of the entry and dock private signs.
On another note, all docks have now been rented for the season except 23.
