BOARD BY BOARD
... the boardwalk comes together...
The most recent Saturday work party — and probably the last for '09 — finished a significant length of boardwalk. Everything laid in place since June, when we had the first trailer transport of sections into the park, is now connected with toe rails.
Picture at right shows the completed section from the gathering platform looking south.
The photo above shows the start of the boardwalk from the southern end looking north toward the gathering area. Sections piled to the side are ready for work to start again next spring.
Elevating the toe rails with spacers allowed us to keep the walkway as wide as possible and maintain the height of the side rails needed to meet federal regulations for handicapped accessibility.
Attaching toe rails required multiple hands, feet and sometimes C-clamps to hold the boards tight for screwing into place.
Fun with tools!
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this season so successful!
