Pretty Weighty Jetty but not Muddy or Wet(ty)

 A pond needs a jetty, but who wants to stand around in muddy water to build it?  So it was off to the workshop to frame it up undercover.

Some 'scope creep' resulted in it being wide enough for two people to sit comfortably next to each other and long enough to give a true 'over water' experience.  As a result, just the timber frame turned out to be quite heavy, so I made some jockey wheels and used a hand truck to move it out of the workshop.

With the help of a couple of friends, it was manoeuvred down to the pond and onto the piles.

Then it was just a simple job to nail down the decking, relocating the workshop compressor to make life easy.

The winter rain still needs to do its thing to fill the pond back up but eventually the water will overflow down the standpipe next to the jetty.  Finished with a cleat for the dinghy, it will make a great place to contemplate the next project...
