Tip of the PeninsulaYesterday I was working on the tip of the peninsula. I have some water that needs to support the carfloat, and some water under the pier structure that is supported by many pilings. Had to do quiet a bit of thinking how exactly I would like to do this, and the dimensions involved.
Originally my metal benchwork had a support beam running all the way to the tip under the 3/4" plywood.
(yellow box above denoted the end of the carfloat sitting on that upper deck, and the other arrows point out the 2" square metal tubes)
I've got to cut off that excess length tube sticking out the front as my water depth there is greater than the top surface of that tube that is only 3/4" under the plywood deck it is supporting. In fact my water's top surface is 1+1/4" below the surface of the top.Here you can see my float apron and the pier surface set in place while contemplating the situation,...
Here you can see where I took my cutout piece and temporarily attached it to the underside of that metal beam.I will be using this cutout piece as the 'water level deck', but it will only be about 1+1/4" deep verses 2 +3/4" of that beam plus top plywood thickness.
