Shallow Steps Evolution








2013





2017





In Fall of 2018, the shallows were used for overwinter dock storage, but
in Summertime, toddlers enjoyed the shallows protected by the big log.

Some slate steppingstones provided adults a 
tricky approach to the beachy area. The concrete-filled 6" PVC pipe offered a grip. In fall of 2023, a 'gestalt' with railroad ties 
helps to visualize steps to approach the proposed 
'Shallow Steps' (BTW, the unsecured upper beam DID 
float way with springtime flooding)


With low water in off-season, Pressure Treated 4x4s (>6' long) were imbedded with a backhoe in November 2023. This image is March 2024







First crosspieces / PT joists attached to 4x4s




Slate pavers finally installed November 2024


High water in springtime 2025 is still a novelty
