I cleaned the interiorand checked the nuts holding the Pier to the cement lower Pier. Seven out of eight nuts were loose to the point I could move them by hand. The only tight nu was the one to the south of the Pier, which makes sense because it had the stress of the Pier pulling against it. I tightened all nuts using a wrench. Even the nut to the south that appeared tight rotated one and one half to two rotations. All the rest of the nuts rotated multiple turns to eventually secure the nut. I put a level on the Pier base and was able to see that the bubble moved slightly toward the center of the bulls eye upon tightening. I retapped and installed new hardware for the access panel. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: berkey, mcotter
