BEFORE...

View from the community (6 lots) dock.  The famous Love Shack in front, Alison and Capt Phil's place upper right.  We will be building to the left of Capt Phil's, above the Love Shack.

So... this may be really happening.  We stopped by Lovango and met the place when sailing in 2011.  Also met Dan Boyd, master of many things, who lives there and gave us the tour.  A year later we made an offer on a half acre lot one back from the water (and 60' above it) and finally closed about a year ago.  Since then we've been trying to get the permit to get a building permit .  A 2 month process (or so it says on the web site) that took 8.  Supposedly the building permit is imminent but, regardless, we can start digging on the basis of the first (czm) permit and so we plan to do.  Dan has the trac hoe and silt fence arriving May 18 and we may be in the dirt by the 19th.  Long journeys and that first single step.

We had a chance to swing by and see the place when sailing this past April.  Sadly, Dan was in California but his dogs Eeyore (Basset Hound) and Olive Oyl (Great Dane) were there to welcome us.  Walked the pucker-brush but couldn't stay long.  If we were supposed to perform a ceremonious act or recognize an omen, we missed it.

Before... Randy beats through the pucker brush on the lot.
