Shoreline Stabilization update - Friday, Nov 22

Stairway under construction.  Stepped footings have been completed. Next step: laying concrete block on top of the footings to create the sides of the stairway. 

Using a string line to establish a reference for the stairway slope and elevation

Since we had the skid steer for one more day, Steve used the machine to begin cutting a wide terrace just above the top edge of the rip-rap stone.  The finished concrete stairway will exit onto this terrace (will post photos of terrace under construction soon).
