More good news on Rosslyn’s boathouse gangway repair project: redecking is complete. The necessary mechanical adjustments were made, sleeper joists were properly flashed, decking was consistently spaced, the correct number of posts were installed in a structurally sound manner, and the redecking was actually completed. Eureka!

It’s a pleasure and a privilege to celebrate yet another accomplishment by Peter Vaiciulis and Sia Supi Havosi. After the previous team’s parade of missteps and setbacks last fall, winter, and spring, it’s been a tremendous relief to be able to share positive progress report after positive progress report this fall. Peter and Supi have proceeded thoughtfully and responsibly ever since they joined us. They’re organized and methodical, detail oriented and communicative. And their expertise is enabling a remarkable recovery from a lost year and rescuing this historic landmark from its precarious status last spring.

Let’s wrap up with a ultra short mashup of the final phase of redecking.
