I open and close my place myself... Including the dock work.... It has gotten a bit easier now that I have teenagers... I let them get in the water for the dock work.....
In the camp the water has a low point, and drains nice and easy....
I am now in the process of slowly converting over to PEX for the plumbing... and see that soon I may go to a compressed air drain methodology, so I can stop taking facets apart...
The key I have found, is to spread the work out, so that open and closing basically takes 3 relaxing weekends....
1. Put in water and get the outside furniture out of storage
2. Dock installation
3. Toys into the water (Boat, Jet Ski etc)
and in the fall
1. Toys out of the water
2. Dock comes out
3. Outside furniture into storage and take water out
Admittedly in the fall step 3 sometimes turns into a multi-weekend event because I just don't want to let summer go!!!!!!!!!!!!
