Ice Out Dock lost

[Sue Doe-Nym]

What a shame, didn't realize that Bear Island was without electricity for such a long time. Any chance of insurance covering repairs?

Ouch, sorry to hear of this!

Perhaps try what the youngsters do these days, create a 'go fund me' page and ask for donations to help repair it.

Obviously this was not your fault, so ask others to help pay for the repairs.

It seems this is what the young crowd does these days, why not do it yourself

walmart.com has many, many different aluminum docks, and dock items, that get shipped to a local Wal-mart store for free delivery pickup. Check out the PlayStar 4' x 10' aluminum dock section kit, price - $491.80, was $542.76 ..... plus about a hundred other dock items ....

Aluminum lasts forever in Lake Winnipesaukee, and you get to haul it out, and reinstall......every year....woooo-hooooo!

Apparently, the PlayStar line of docks sold by walmart.com are a dock-in-a-box, where the cardboard box contains a disassembled, aluminum dock frame, and legs, and you buy the deck lumber locally. Go to Walmart.com and enter 'PlayStar dock kit.'

For 8.49-each, there's a galv steel finish footplate that fits 1 5/8", or 1 7/8" pipe legs, plus many other dock repair items.

You know for about $399.99, the Ocean State Job Lot in Meredith has an outdoor, hot tub in-a-box, an Intex 4-person, round, inflatable tub, that runs off a 110v-15amp standard outlet..... so's one could get both a dock and a hot tub in-a-cardboard-box ... and set both up in your driveway, or your backyard, or almost anywhere, and not be paying these big, fat, Lake Winnipesaukee, waterfront property taxes .....wooooo-hooooo!
