Cattle Landing dock-replacement

[fatlazyless]

Looks like the Cattle Landing dock will get demolished and totally replaced between October 11 and approximately November 10 according to a notice posed at the dock by the Town of Meredith. It will be closed starting on October 11, and any construction info updates should be posted in www.meredithnh.org/1index.php.

Wonder if the new town dock will have a sign identifying it or will it remain anonymous?

Its about time, the dock has been a mess for a few years.

There was a broken post last week on one side and a metal bracket exposed on the other side.

Can recall reading somewhere, probably the LaDaSun, that the new dock construction will cost the town about $125,000.

For what it's worth, just up the road at #22 Cattle Landing Rd, http://www.realtor.com/realestateand...3_M31771-00206 there's a condo-house that has been on the market since it was built by the builder-owner in about 2006, and it remains un-sold at about $3,000,000. Without a doubt, this new town dock construction close to the un-sold condo-house, should be all it takes to make it go from un-sold to sold!

What's kind of interesting is that this condo-house has never, as far as I can recall, had a real estate 'For Sale' sign posted up-front on the road. So.....gee-whiz....maybe if they posted one of those red & white, $1.29. hardware store 'For Sale' signs out front, it would get sold? Sure seems odd they do not post a "For Sale" sign on a house they is trying to sell?

Just up the road at 88 Cattle Landing, that beautifull place, set on a skinny peninsular, got sold in maybe 2007 or 2008, just before the big crash, for about 2.4-mil, and that's one heck of an incredible location and a heck of a 'russian hockey player house!'

That Cattle Landing town dock and free, non-stickered town parking lot is a super-terrific location for launching a kayak, or launching a snowmobile, plus the un-paved, dirt parking lot is immediately close to the water! And, except for a one month time period when someone put up a very nice, engraved wood sign that announced "Cattle Landing," the town dock has never-ever had a town sign to identify it, going back to 1992. Looking around the Town of Meredith, every other town property always has a town sign that identifies it for what it is, but apparently, down at the Cattle Landing town dock, it has always been very anonymous. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anonymous

My boat broke that post... I was tied to the dock when another boat came in hot and slammed me practically onto the dock! $3300 in damage to mine and a broken dock post. I reported it to mp that day.

One of my pontoons snapped it off as the boat was pushed up onto it.

Sorry to hear about your boat accident. Was that the boat hauled from Fla?
Had a great season with the Jet ski, it worked great and the kids loved it.
Just hauled it today and getting ready to head for Fla next week

It was my pontoon that got hit.

I am glad you enjoyed it. Mine are out of the water and being winterized this week. Have a great winter in Florida!
