Boat Name: King Kong
"Boat + Water = Fun"
Sold a very expensive custom waterfront house 10 years ago to move to a condo. Glass windows and sliding doors all across the back looking onto a 40 foot by 25 foot cedar deck that had a walkway bridge to a 12 person hot tub. Over sized garage with custom redwood doors shipped across Canada from British Columbia by rail and custom Pella wood windows.
Went down the water a couple of years later past it. He had covered the hot tub with a crappy lean to and attached what looked like a screen porch the length of the house, over the deck, using crappy lumber and a ledger board nailed onto the beautiful brick. My 9 year old grand daughter would have done a better job. For sure it would have obscured most of the view of the water from inside the house. Also he had painted the red wood garage doors white and the Pella windows white with paint all over the brick.
The Admiral was really upset. I said - he paid full asking price. It was his to do whatever with. Let's move on. She agreed but I did see her point. Sometimes, as Steve has indicated, you have to move on - particularly in the face of stupidity.
Happy trails Steve!
