Pier fear

Seems mother Nature wants to take the floating dock and pier. The piles are already lifted out of the bottom of the creek about 4 or 5 feet from the ice moving up and down. Every time the tide changes they lift up even more.. I spent several hours today tying ropes and anchors to each pile so when they pop out of the ice they will not get away. It's been a long cold winter and we're getting more snow tonight. Maybe tomorrow I'll build a snowman!
