Wow. You guys don't mind the older homes do you.

"Don't mind" would be an understatement, for me anyway. I like wood, stone and plaster - wall to wall carpet and central air conditioning give me the creeps.

A history of the Wolf Trap Light that includes an account from one of the crew.

Quote:

Grocery items were purchased locally when our small boat was sent to shore. That was a challenge sometimes during rough seas. Lowering the boat with men in it was a tedious job as the rough seas would try to send it crashing against the structure. Getting the 2 hooks off the lowering pulleys was another challenge as the lea hook had to be released before the windward hook was released to keep the boat from turning around and hitting the structure or having the rough seas wash over the stern. On many occasions, the boat would go ashore for groceries and the weather was too rough for it to return and safely get hooked up/raised. I wonder who usually made the grocery runs and got stuck ashore...??? It wasn't me...!

He wouldn't even look at that one because of the 422 commute into the city

ick, you couldn't get me to pay anything for any of those. I'll stick with glass, stainless steel, and concrete as building materials for now.
