Nice day at "work"

[Walker]

The upside to my job is that i get to go boating on Lake Winnipesaukee. This morning in particular was stellar! The lake was flat, hardly any boats, and nothing but sunshine..Enjoy!

Looking East at the Ossipee Mountain Range, home to Castle in the Clouds...

West toward Gunstock Ski Area.

More glass and sun...

One of my favorite house/boathouse combinations.. This guy restores old wood boats..Structure was built in the teens.

Man...what job do you have again?

Man, how did you get that job? They need to fire my guidance counselor.

Looks like my commute, except your water looks cleaner

Man...what job do you have again?

I forget

I work for a marine construction company in the beautiful Lakes Region of NH. We operate 2 barges, several pontoon boats and so forth. Basically if there is a project in or around the water, we do it. Dock repairs, dredging, breakwater construction, seasonal dock installations, boat lift sales and installation, island septic sytsem construction, island site work and so forth. I do 99% of the site visits, quotes, design work and State of NH Wetlands Bureau permit applicaitons.

Sometimes the weather is nice for the barge guys..This is probably late fall

Sometimes it gets cold, but we keep on working...

We can move one full Concrete truck on our 90 ton capacity 60ft barge.

.....or two empty ones..

This is our "big excavator. CAT 313B with Tow-Tem attachment building a breakwater

This is Maine Drilling and Blasting's hoe ram next to our "big' Machine. I think theirs is a CAT 330

We were first in the region to switch from a crane with leeds and hammer for pile driving to an excavator with a vibratory driver, works awesome..

Here's one of my design's on Lake Sunapee

Sunstream Sunlift 8000lb capacity hydraulic boat lift with canopy under Windsorcraft boat. The truss frame aluminum crank up dock is our work too.

Thank you for sharing, thats sweet, now if you can figure out how to clean the hydrilla out of our little 100 mile of shoreline lake, I will let you go thru my bike pile :wink:

Not our area of expertise....unfortunately..

Are those pictures from the Wolfeboro and Alton end of the lake? You must have taken those early in the morning. The lake's never that still this time of year.

The first photo set were taken on August 19th, 2010! middle of the day. Traveled from Gilford out to Jolly island, then up to Bear island. So, kind of the opposite corner of the lake from Wolfeboro / Alton.

Of course, the day before yesterday i had 3 visits to do in Wolfeboro / Tuftonboro and i got soaked with rain for 1/2 the day. So it all works out in the end..

Man, I'd love to have any kind of a paying job that involved using an outboard motor! Nice pics and cool docks!!!

Darn! It's been a few years since I've been in that area. I don't believe that you took those pictures in the middle of the day in August. Who stole all the boats?
