Ok so recently I got to work at the lake let's check it out.... First this is what we are working with>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/6a9f1545-533a-4ca3-b30a-7e2511d63c70.jpg This boat house is leaning BAD. The lake wall failed and the bank fell off pushing the boat house over. The homeowner attached straps and cable to the structure and tied them back to some trees to keep it from falling all the way down. How out of level is it? Let's check>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/e3545698-16d6-46dc-8ffc-d5044d4705c6.jpg Holy shit! To fix this we are using this awesome air hammer(the yellow thing) working off the barge>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/7252bd45-7143-4de0-b04a-072c173d398b.jpg Driving new posts>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/2be77786-69cd-46ac-b04e-6bb37e40f136.jpg Then we brace around the existing post, cut it free and move it over to sit on top of the new post>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/c2cddb43-a52f-49c4-a2de-722bcd1d01e5.jpg We repeat until that side is finished and then move on to the difficult side>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/6147e87e-535b-4c90-9e1f-36444fb948f2.jpg On the other side of the boat house we replace the lake wall and this gives us something for the posts to sit on Once again we use the air hammer to drive posts for the wall>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/3fdbc4cf-51ef-4704-9ac4-6192228dbbd1.jpg We weren't able to use the barge to pick up the hammer so we had to pick it up to move it. It weighs about 350 pounds. Next we drive tunge and groove 2×10s to make the wall>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/707b59dd-8819-451a-92ff-a42bd24eb1c6.jpg Progress>> http://picinfinity.co/d/fdbd4ce7-8c7b-44a7-a25e-aad1c2ae728b.jpg For this step we used a combination of sledge hammers and the air hammer with a special attachment. As we get the 2×10s in we cap the wall and brace things so we can cut posts and slide them over onto the wall>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/38f867b6-d82b-4aee-93a6-45f0586def02.jpg Progress>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/3262a430-dc55-4590-aad6-f171138543c5.jpg After all that it's time to put drain cloth on the back of the wall to keep the dirt from washing through >>> http://picinfinity.co/d/1e594b99-6078-4c3a-b79e-db5445999a78.jpg Nice and straight posts now>> http://picinfinity.co/d/64d75428-0ac8-4b93-9c0f-dfc18814f1c9.jpg Now we back fill the wall >>> http://picinfinity.co/d/4c81d71f-6a4b-48de-a92e-6b574052d1e5.jpg And tie the wall back to 'deadmen' using cable and clamps>>> http://picinfinity.co/d/4a8bbfd6-ffe9-4592-9180-ee71ebd75f48.jpg >>> http://picinfinity.co/d/43734c63-5685-483f-8f23-ae7558337f64.jpg Done >>> http://picinfinity.co/d/1d4eaa8e-2ce3-49b7-9100-e19b643bd142.jpg I love working at the lake
