Taking The High Road

In case you haven't sauntered on down to the BRB project, pic below displays what is coming. No that isn't a missile silo on the left, it's a manhole which indicates where the eventual road bed will be, about 13 feet above current (see truck on right). The road will elevate dramatically from Forest as it goes west.
Another interesting feature is how the stream bed has been altered for this phase of construction. Two dams have been formed, one at the seawall to the right and another up stream to the left. There is a very small pipe that has been laid to skirt around the dams and drain into the lake. What happens when we get our next downpour? Guess we'll just have to wait and see...could happen as soon as late this evening.

How much of that bean field did we have to pay for anyway?? Seems like we paid an AWFUL lot for a little bit of land that seems to get smaller and smaller each time I drive past it. It doesn't seem to have much space that isn't being occupied by these trucks all over the place.

Dear Feed Up, I thought the very same thing when i drove by it yesterday. You have reason to be concerned.

I am feed up by those who whine about what we have to spend to protect the lake

We must spend an AWFUL amount because those making AWFUL amounts of money would and will not do what they need to do to prevent AWFUL things happening to our property

In the end if we dont do it ourselves many houses on the lake will take an AWFUL NOSEDIVE IN VALUE
