Did the posts snap off or just shift? Will you have to get those all out too or just leave them?
Some snapped off at the water line, not quite sure on the others. If the snapped off ones aren’t a hazard I might leave them in and invite mahtofire over to fish Bass there. 
Before I could do anything I needed to free it form the posts.
Some snapped off clean some were still hanging on.
I had to cut them off below the waterline and it wasn’t easy.
I had a couple that were freakin impossible. I tried every type off saw I had.
Nothing.
$500 bucks later

Looks like a New Stihl Combi unit. I got one of those and love it. If I was closer I could/would of helped. How many cc power head did you get? Lots of attachments for that unit.

I believe it’s 27.22 cc’s the smaller one, but it’s quite the tool.
Just add Pontoon!
We’re back in business, a bunch of bumps and bruises but we’re back. Don’t know what I’m going to do next winter, but that’s a few Coronas from now.

That looks like a pretty sweet sledding hill in the winter, just get that platform out of the way.
EPG do you have some kind of dumbwaiter to transfer Coronas down the hill? Rope, bucket, and pulleys set up? Too many steps to chase cold ones.:???:
Well, post fire I restored the dock it sure has takin a beating in 7 years.
I lost 2 floats in the fireworks mishap, luckily I had 2 extras.
The problem yesterday was the water was very high which lifted it up on a deadhead that was left over from the ice damage 3 years ago.
I did get it over to the shore where I used a come along to elevate it enough to slide the new floats in.
Unfortunately, it is with a sad heart that I say
“this year and all future 4th of July fireworks display is cancelled”

Dang, I was really looking forward to this year. Figured maybe you would light the cabin on fire.

Not sure as I do keep them entertained up there. 
If you have a cabin fire for Gods sake, SAVE THE MOOSE!!!
LOL,
If it catches on fire I have sooooo much bourbon in there that it would look like the Notre Dame fire.
Moose would not make it.
The hell with that fancy cow on the wall,save the liquer.
Moose is about the size of a bobcat on the back side,like in that cartoon the oily American.
No cabin fire!!! Gonna be up there in June and I am not sleeping on the pontoon!!

The pontoon will probably be on fire as well.

Glenn you haven’t seen the size of Iowaboy’s bottle of Jack, he gets them straight from the warehouse. That things gotta hold 8 gallons 
June eh, maybe I will have to try to make it up there for a couple cocktails

You guys are Funnie,
No smoking on the pontoon (after I smoke the cigar (big as a barge rope) Sheldon gave me to smoke)
No Chineese fireworks.

Picking it up Friday morning 9:00 am. Should have it floating a little after Noon.
If anyone is passing by this weekend shoot me a PM or text.
