Doug Hawkinson went with Les to the Lake for a quick 3 day trip the last week in February. Les had some "minor" projects to do but the real reason was to inspect the sea wall for any erosion or problems. Each year they lower the lake level to prepare for spring rains and also this allows homeowners to do an inspection of the sea walls and docks. Les had laid 5-80# bags of concrete last year and he wanted to see how they stood the year of waves and water motion.
It's a simple process as you place the bags and then when the water rises they set up...so there is no forming, mixing or pouring needed.
The inspection showed that the concrete bags did their job so Les thought a few more bags this year were in order....Doug really liked the idea! Doug and Les placed 10 more bags this year (thats 800#'s) and then moved rocks and boulders on top of the concrete. I think these guys are getting too old for this type of work.
Next year we'll take another look to see if some more bags are needed. Doug is not sure if he will be available for another inspection!
