What other things should I consider before building a dock?

• <div><p>Here are a few other considerations before you build, even if you're convinced you're in compliance with the law:</p><ul><li><p><b>Are you damaging the environment?</b> Bodies of water are often delicate ecosystems, and building a dock can be destructive and disruptive to the wildlife.</p></li><li><p><b>Are you blocking access? </b>Lots of people like to use a lake, so you need to make sure your dock doesn't block public access to the water.</p></li><li><p><b>Can you enclose the dock? </b>Just because you can build a dock doesn't mean you can build any dock you want. Some areas don't allow enclosed docks, for example.</p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to follow any specific rules or guidelines?</b> Check with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management for any guidelines you’ll need to follow, including size and type restrictions.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

John came in today on a holiday day to check my roof. He is a very honest man. He told me my roof is still good for another two years, and doesn’t need any repairs at this time. I highly recommend him for any roofing projects. Thank you John!

My well pump went after 11 years, they came right out and got a new one put in within a few hours. They also diagnosed the builder had put in an expander tank that was not big enough for the house..and replaced that. No problems ever since!
