Dive taking on water

mowtorman · 08-13-2021, 09:21 PM

Must have been surveyed for seaworthiness after the extensive winter repairs....especially as a commercial vessel (?).

OK. .. I get it ... many people hate the concept of The Dive. I have no connection.. nor have I patronized this establishment.

But to make light of this misfortune that occurred to the owners that put their hearts (and their finances) into this endeavor seems completely inappropriate.

I guess that's the way it goes these days..

That's a very tall house in the background. Aren't there height limits in that town? Wouldn't someone building behind that house have their "view-tax" compromised?

Everybody wants to put in their slant on things.

They wouldn't have a view, so the market assessment wouldn't reflect one.

Seeing its on a large hill, no. From the road that house probably only 1 story.

a few years back there was a house constructed on the Balmoral canal, that was too tall and infringing on neighbors property setback (8'). All after building inspector was notified.

Seeing this everywhere. People buy a small existing cottage but want a much larger home. Most towns will not let you expand the footprint so they go up.
My mom's old log cabin is now three stories

I wonder what caused the problem for The Dive?

Water that was supposed to be outside of the hull structure got inside.

It's not uncommon really. It could have been worse, for example had the front fallen off it would have likely made repairs more complicated.

That "Front Fell Off" video is hilarious. What about the spilled crude oil? It's not in the environment, it's beyond the environment. What's out there? Nothing. Well except birds, fish, and 20,000 gallons of crude oil.

Really funny. Thank you brk-int.

I see both. Some are really adding square footage to the small existing cottage... nearly a tear down... but some of the new owners are really working hard to update the cottage but keep the vintage feel with newer products.

It takes longer to come up with the design, but the outcomes have been magazine worthy.
