Rain, Rain, Rain

Shorehill came out of the rainiest day of the year in good shape. Gayle walked up to the reservoir and took these photos:

Thanks, Gayle, for the update!

SHOREHILL FARING WELL THROUGH CURRENT RAINSTORM

For those who may be wondering how things are here at Shorehill with all the rain,
I thought I'd let you know all seems to be well.  I took a walk up to the watershed today and all the drainage work we did looks secure and seems to be handling the volume of water well.

Sun Before Snow?

Saturday was a sunny but cool day at Shorehill. The new dock looks great in the sun!

Snow on Sunday? Or just rain?

Thank You!

The dock and pier project is pretty well completed. Within the next couple of weeks Lakeshore Construction will come out and place some bird proofing under the pier and on the handrails. Ron will be doing some final weather proofing to the ends of the pier boards which were cut during installation. After that Mason County will come out for a final inspection. The floats will stay in year round and our yearly maintenance will consist of weatherproofing the wood to preserve the life of the wood portions of the dock.


I want to say thank you to Lakeshore Construction for doing such a great job and for being so great to work with. It has been a pleasure doing business with them. We couldn’t have asked for greater pride in workmanship than what they have given us.

I also want to thank Pete and Brooke for doing the initial legwork to get bids for our project; Kyle and Ron Izatt for their early consultation on the project; Bill and Darlene Kennedy for their trip to the county to find out what it would take to get things rolling; Ron for his patience while I completed the paperwork for our permitting; Karl, Pete, Ron, Tim, and Tom for their help with demolition of the old pier; Karen for collecting the assessments and keeping track of the finances; Sue for posting the pictures and the entire Board (Nancy Anderson, Judy Radnich, Tom Horn, Pete Goranson, Brooke Scheib, Keith Luttenbacher, Bill and Darlene Kennedy, Karen and Grant Lau) for “seeing the vision” of what is now a beautiful addition to our community and finding a way to make it all happen.

Lastly I want to thank everyone in the community who voted YES and passed approval of this project, everyone who faithfully paid the assessment and those of you who have provided support throughout the project.

Together we all made it happen. What a great accomplishment for our community. We should all be very proud of our new dock and pier and we should all make a personal commitment to help keep it as beautiful as it is now.

Thanks so much to everyone!

Done!

And it is beautiful!

Dock Replacement — Part XI

Almost done! Working on the railings.

Dock Replacement — Part X

The ramp was scheduled for installation on Thursday.

Dock Replacement — Part IX

Almost done! On Thursday, the contractor will install the ramp. On Friday, workers will add metal-coated black wiring to pier rails and add handrails. They also will finish off the pilings with black cone-shaped tops that will keep birds from landing and or nesting there. The new dock could be completed this weekend.

Dock Replacement — Part VIII

Good weather is helping the progress on the new dock. The railings are starting to appear.

Dock Replacement — Part VII

The new dock is really taking shape. The contractor said the project could be complete as early as this weekend.

Thank you, Gayle, for the regular photo updates.

SHOREHILL WATER SHUT OFF MONDAY 10AM - 2PM

Shorehill Estates water will be shut off on Monday, September 17th from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm so that the new pump on Marine View Drive can be connected into the water main.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will get the water back on line as soon as possible after the connection is made.

Dock Replacement — Part VI

Work continues.

Dock Replacement — Part V

The materials used on the new dock should give the community an asset that will last many, many years.

• The pilings are galvanized steel.
• The grating is heavy-duty fiberglass, which is very strong, corrosion-resistant, fire-retardant, low maintenance, slip-resistant, and long-lasting.
• Wood is pressure-treated wood.

Dock Replacement — Part IV

It is starting to look like a dock!

Dock Replacement — Part III

Work on the new dock is moving along.

Dock Replacement — Part II

New pilings have gone in to support the new dock.

Parts of the dock and floats are at Lakeshore Construction awaiting installation.

Dock Replacement on Track — Part I

Remember this?

The old dock is gone and the new dock is going in.

A work crew from Shorehill helped take apart the old dock

Pete removed the floats

Tim took things apart

Going...

Going...

Going...

Gone.

Thank you, Gayle, for keeping the community informed with your great photos. More photos from the dock rebuilding project will be posted as work progresses.

Hard Work, Much Success

Shorehill members and friends worked hard during the semi-annual work party on September 8 to clean up and improve many areas of the community.

Judy and Lila pulled weeds by the boat ramp.

Carl, Gayle, Brooke, and Pete strategized.

Ron, Bill, and Chris cleaned out a drain.

Ken cleared brush on Brook Drive.

Phil and Brooke also cleared brush
on Brook Drive

Rebecka cleaned the mailboxes.

Bill and Tim painted the picnic tables.

George trimmed the hedge.

And everyone enjoyed the potluck dinner.

Thanks to Gayle and other work party organizers.
