Adding a House to the Marina
The view out my front window is never the same. Yesterday morning was particularly interesting, however. I looked up my front window to see a house sitting in the river that hadn’t been there before.
Apparently one of the local architects had just finished building a new home that was intended for a slip in the marina. Randy from Ducks Marine was in the process of tucking it into its new slip space.
Turning one of the corners in the marina and tucking it between two other houses proved to be a real challenge. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get it on film because I needed to jump on a conference call for work. However, the finally thing I heard as I was walking away was Randy saying, “I’ll be right back. I need to go get my chainsaw.”
When I went back out a few hours later to pick up Tammy (from RowdyKittens) at the airport the new home was sitting peacefully in its slip space like it had always been there.

WHAAA?? That’s funny to see! Fairly recently, didn’t a house leave the dock or move to another spot? I was wondering if there was an empty spot, how hard is it to move, say for an even better view? I assume slip spots are different prices, but that was one thing I was wondering.
