My buddy leans over and says, "This is about to get interesting!" I had my phone at the ready to video a swanky new shack descending 20' underwater. Alas, an engineer showed up with a long post and pry bars, so they were able to cantilever it out of the ice and pull it away with an Argo. Was happy for them as they were nice guys. Thankfully they put it up on some blocks properly.
Ya I’d say he put it out there a touch early this year considering the ice conditions (Dec 19th) . He was worried about the flood water freezing over his subfloor. New pressure cracks opened up again on Sat, so there’s more slush to get through again around the point. It’s going to be awhile yet before it’s safe for trucks unless we get a good cold snap.
