and?

works for me. but it would have to be a second home. Outer Banks is too cold; Florida keys are too crowded and not much actual beach...

one of the problems with some of these "sand bar houses" are the wooden stilts they're built on;

I'm in a 100 year flood plane, and have wind and water insurance in addition to homeowners; my house is built on steel-reinforced concrete pylons, at least a square foot wide, and steel beams. The beams are also anchored into the ground, I forget how deep.

I look at those "little sticks" holding up these often large houses and just shake my head.

Here's one I was considering in the Gulf, on a sandbar, until I noticed the high tide line halfway under the house:

I found a better house further away from the water, but still has a clear view of the water.


edit: well I did; it already sold. still another 1-3 years before I can retire and consider moving

That's pretty cool, but I am land lover. I try to go see the ocean every year but, that's about it.

If God wanted me to live on the water, he would have given me gills.

I'd be closer to the ocean if I could afford it. also why I'd like to get a sailboat for my retirement if I can (cost, keeping, health, stamina,...)
 
Dam failure imminent at Lake Lure authorities say. Over 1000 people still unaccounted for in the Asheville area,

 
If I was still in St. Pete my souped up Blaster would be ruling these streets. The one time you wouldn't catch a case doing it:


It's interesting how quickly the ocean reclaims it's property. When Charlie thrashed New Port Richey and all that down there it was 70mph winds in St. Pete and we spent the better part of the workweek cleaning a foot of sand off the pool deck and from the pool at the hotel. This is a whole different level..

I suspected this might be some Maui level move taking place. Prices in that western NC have skyrocketed compared to every other place in the south recently. Pray to the Lord that he brings justice to the situation. I am tired of greedy elites who have everything yet it still isn't enough for them. They want it all.

I'm also tired of their misinformed, uninformed, and NPC useless idiot supporters.

he's just purposely obtuse; IMO. Can get tedious in those long, drawn out circular conversations without an exit...reminds of Abbot & Costello's who's on first. :dunno:

Abbot & Costello didn’t like cock though.

Yep, millions and millions, yet still not enough.

My dream home. 1/4 the size of my current house. No people, big ass field.
