Its never too early to start planning for Spring. One of the Fall
projects is to rough-in the water and power for the Dock Area. We decided that we did not need water on the dock at this time so the plan is for a Yard Hydrant. We are
installing a utility outlet in the area and we are running a 220-volt line that will be stubbed off at the foot of the dock for a
future boat lift should the need arrive.
So far we have used the hell out of the outside shower, our favorite place to shower on a cool and breezy fall morning.
We also added an extra long hand-held shower for Morgan and Goose Poop removal.
The storm has come and gone, with very little damage to the area. We did have unusually high tide and some area flooding, an were told that this was the same water level as Hurricane Sandy** (October 29, 2012).
** Sandy – While it was a Category 2 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)). Estimates as of 2015 assessed damage to have been about $75 billion (2012 USD), a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina.[5] At least 233 people were killed along the path of the storm in eight countries.
We were never in danger of water in the house or the garage and the main reason we stayed at the Cottage @ Creek View was to observe the water levels.
