Disaster On The Lake - it all comes down

Freezing Ice
First lake ice knocked out the footing to the dock. Causing one side of the pier to fall into the water. This was so disappointing since we had installed fans into the lake in order to keep the water circulating. These fans were made to prevent incidents like this - what a waste .
We tried to secure as best we could, but keep in mind its winter, its cold, and the water is frozen. It held up for two weeks.

The Wind Storm
So then, we had a really bad wind storm combined with the still frozen water and next thing you know . . .. . BOOM the whole dock collapses into the frozen lake. Unfortunately my dock was not the only one to meet its demise. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost on Lake George that day. The only people happy about it are the dock contractors - booked now for the whole summer!
