Lake Level

tmm366 · 09-18-2013, 12:50 PM

Recently constructed a new house on Paugus bay. Building code required the basement floor to be at least 508 feet or 4 ft above full lake. After construction the floor level was certified at 508ft 1/2 inch. Pretty close but ok.

I appreciate all of the responses. I DID start by searching the forums for "Lake Level" but that didn't pull up the correct threads. Sorry if I'm going over old ground!

I've been renting on Winni for years and finally bought on Sewall Road in Wolfeboro and it is has been amazing spending so much time there. I closed the first week in August and put 48 hours on my boat through labor day!

When I had trouble docking in Meredith a guy who was pulling away pulled back into the docks and spent 30 minutes teaching me the best strategies for docking. I'm not kidding, 30 minutes. Everyone has been so friendly...

water level is still higher than some other years when there was actually bare sand against my wall. Today it is around 4 inches
