Next door neighbor Mark Miller took a cast-off concrete step platform and placed it in front of our dock. Removed the stones, dug out the hole with a pick-axe, trailered in sand, and placed the concrete step - all by himself, voluntarily, without any expectation of compensation. Ken was at the Lodge watching ball games - I joined him at half time and when we came home the new concrete threshold was in place, looking like it had always been there. We went next door and gave Mark a standing ovation.
Isn't it fabulous? I had him offset it just a bit so we can jut the dock a bit to the left next spring when we put it in.
