Ken, do you have dimensions from the “dock” edge to the front supports?
I’ll probably use square tubing.
I may have to retrofit that part. Concrete contractor will start probably
week after next, but I have to run to Texas for a few weeks. My father
passed away in early January and we need to do the next round of stuff.
I’ll talk with the concrete guy this afternoon. Good guy.
I’m hammered with online stuff all day today but evenings are free. Seven
oh three six too 3 five six 6 ate.
