Mark, very good work, that is indeed my house, looks like it was taken last year or maybe even the fall of 2004, but definately after the 3 hurricanes of 2004 wiped out my dock, and filled the lake way up (thus no sandy beach, it's under water in that picture). I have just this summer rebuilt the dock ($10,000 out of pockett, non-insured) and the beach is now white sand again, the lake is down a good 5 feet from when that picture was taken.

The second house picture is not my direct neighbor but another new home about a half mile east. When that picture was taken my next door neighbor had not yet built his monster dock. He spent over $50,000 on his new dock and over a $Million on his home, he is a retired developer-home builder and really shot his wad when he rebuilt the place, it makes my home look like a garage next to his! I'm trying to get him interested in racing cats... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And any time you guys want to pull the weeds off my beach, or mow the lawn, or trim the trees, while I'm away at work, sailing in Dublin with Dermot or Zandvoort with Wouter or the Bodensee with Andi, you just come on over and have at it. My wife will give you my beer! Then you can jump in the pool to cool off. (see it over there on the left of the picture under the screen cage?)
