So I think I left off last time talking about the 'riprap' (I'm sure a man gave it that name). Well, I don't know if you remember but if you go back on the blog to....I think last November, maybe January...hmmm...there are pictures of Chris and Darcee's place after a big storm and there might even be one of this place but regardless, it was a hell of a storm on a really high tide and it wasn't pretty. So after living at the beach on Beach we decided to do what we did there (only for a much bigger buck...we are soooo broke, seems it cost quite a 'tad' more than we were quoted) and have rocks brought in to beef up the yard so we don't loose any more of it. Anyway they did a beautiful job and here are a few pictures. I really thought it would be much more of a mess, only thing now is some raking and a lot of grass seed...
Seriously! The whole house shook when they dropped these rocks and I don't even know how many trips they made...well, apparently, a few thousand dollars more than expected...but I digress...
The fellow (John) running this machine could have picked up a toothpick with it, amazing!!!Luke would have loved this so much!!!
We had these 3 rocks placed here and then Jim got 3 solar spot lights to shine on them at night and they look so cool! They actually look like icebergs.
And final inspection. It really does look great from the yard, rather awful from the beach but once a storm comes in that will change. At this point we are really happy but we haven't really seen what our Mother Nature has in store for us out here ...we'll keep you posted
