The shack is done, approximately 8.75 sq inches of surface ( after subtracting the windows, door,and vents )
at 72 shingles/sq inch, 600+ shingles, and 300+/- pieces of lumber in the docks, later...... this project is here now.
The 1/4" plywood "base", had the printout of the dock plan w/piling positions taped to it, then the holes were drilled for the pilings, and the docks constructed. The docks and structure, will be removed from the base, and the base then becomes the drilling jig for the water surface on the modules. Those holes will then be opened up to a "snug, press-fit", and the docks will be secured to the water. Then, I can attach the shack, and "details" ( lobster pots, pot markers,spare cordage,anchors and assorted "junk" ).

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
