Paugus Bay Boathouse Collapse
The boathouse collapsed Thursday afternoon just before 2 PM.
The boathouse, owned by Morin's Moorings, was used to store boats, lawnmowers, and fuel. It is (was) located to the left of Paugus Bay Marina. https://www.laconiadailysun.com/news...3136283bb.html |

Well that is scary, the good news is it sounds like no one was hurt.
I wonder how long it had been since there was any type of work or inspection of the support structure for the boat house..

Do the submerged pilings get inspected occasionally?
It might have gone down due to other structural issues for all I know. In FL, pilings can have a wood boring worm infestation that hollows out their insides. It's a time bomb especially if the pilings are for a lift. My friend lost a piling and that holed his boat and set it adrift. The boat partially sank and was ultimately scrapped. I had divers inspect and video my pilings. There were many worm holes present. The new pilings are wrapped in black vinyl sleeves to prevent this. |

Could be the the recent snow, slush and rain weighing down on a boat house in the lake? There's been three snow storms within the last seven days, and the last storm was like a giant slushy with rain and snow while the second storm had 12" heavy dense snow on the roof to absorb the increased weight of the rain.

Likely, Not the Pilings!

Ice does push the pilings around, but I've been able to re-adjust them. https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...56&postcount=5 |

Question, will they be able to rebuild? If so, same foot print? Current codes?

You can go up a story on the same footprint on a house but not on a boathouse.

Same length and width, same roof, just a little bit higher. I haven't figured out how height affects wetlands but I am still thinking about it! |

It doesn't appear that any of the structure will be salvageable.
Being historic, will they want it to be changed? |

I was working my regular shift at Irwin's and just happened to be near the fuel dock outside when this structure failed. It sounded like a house imploding!!! Glad to see the antique boat suffered minimal damage.

Nice thought, but it had nothing to do with that. They never looked at my property or even considered the idea. It was "No" right from the start.
You may remember the DES court case a few years ago about the boathouse in Moultonborough. The DES lost at the State Supreme Court level. It was discussed extensively on this site. From the Laconia Sun: "In its May 22 ruling, the Supreme Court rejected the DES argument that it had the right to restrict the structure to the 17-foot height of the original boathouse. “We agree with the Corrs that DES did not have the authority to limit the height of their structure,” the court said in its ruling. Furthermore, the court wrote in the unanimous decision, "DES has failed to demonstrate, particularly in the circumstances of this case, how height has any relation to the protection of the public waters and the adjacent shoreland." https://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums...ough+boathouse |

Boathouse
Me and a coworker saved this boat the previous July as it "escaped" from the boat house unoccupied and was drifting toward the dam.
