Yeah, it's news items like that one that make me feel a bit better when I screw something up.

Hopefully they can work something reasonable out swapping lots or whatever. Worst case moving a home a short distance isn't impossible nor should it be outrageously expensive either. Sounds like the first surveyor's insurance may be footing some of the bill. |

But a lot more have ended up in the wrong place because they didn't have a GPS. |

An acquaintance of mine working in Area 51, discovered bugs in target acquisition - missing targets. It was software - not his pencil calculations. He can't talk about it due to the nature of his work. They did get the bugs fixed. That is one ugly "dream house". Should be a single story home on a beach, not as a big wind shear area. I'll never have another multi-story home with stairs to climb. |

I'll never have another multi-story home with stairs to climb. If a house is built near the water it needs to be raised off the ground and on posts so the water can go under it. I almost bought into a time share at the beach. Friend just about had me talked into it, then he said it was on the second floor and no elevator. To make things worse, it was built on what looked like telephone poles about 15 or 20 feet tall so it was the equal of 3 floors. That killed the deal. That will require stairs. I worked in a building that had 3 to 6 floors depending on where you were . Each floor had two flights of 10 to 14 steps. Thought when I moved from a single story house I would get away from stairs except togo to a basement. Could not find a house like that but did find one with a basement and a half floor upstairs. Two bedrooms and a bath. Very seldom go up there unless the other bathroom is occupied as it is just me and my wife now. The master bedroom is on the first floor as is the laundry area. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com |

I grew up around Pine Island, Florida stilt houses. You can't buy one now due to regulations, a shame, some were fish houses to transport fish from catch to market. Fishermen brought the catch, went back fishing and another boat brought the catch to market. Looked like: https://tinyurl.com/qcglg4r Or: https://tinyurl.com/lkdz729 |

Oh, how many times I've gone in circles. I was following my GM navigation according to address. Everything was fine, then it said to the effect, your on your own. I swear. I switched to the garmin.

They're made more hideous by the huge fence that invariably surrounds them, like the Huns are going to attack. But the owners must think that they are attractive. |
