Took a drive up to the lake today. Better than Black Friday shopping!

The boat house over by where the Oak Birch Inn site is was being worked on by Docks Unlimited. My guess is that they are stabilizing the structure and repairing the under pinnings. They are using very large square wood blocks and I saw one under a front corner of the boat house. The blocks look like old mill building beams that have been cut for the job. There was a pile of them on the street side of the boat house. Could be they will be raising it at some point? The lake is lower than when seen in the photo RG posted (post #31 in this thread) of this boat house which should make it easier to work on.

BTW this boat house has a stone foundation under 1/3 to 1/2 of the structure from the shore. Could be there is more stone foundation but I could not see it. That could be one reason that it has not fallen into the lake.
