Feb 26th, 2017: Gravdigr Look Away

[xoxoxoBruce]

On Cape Cod, perched on a sand dune, is a cottage, converted barn, with some additions.
It was built before 1895, and sits between the beach and Truro Beach parking lot
They also have a garage where the yellow arrow is.


You can't see the garage? well, at the shore, sand and mother nature change things frequently. A mini-dune
started to build up around the garage, and when the vegetation grew the sand became anchored.
Eventually the garage got buried and the roof started to sag so they hired a contractor to dig the garage out,
and the contractor applied for a permit. NO NO NO, you can't touch the sand, it's an environmental violation.
That was 40 years ago so in time the garage did collapse.



A month or so back the environmental people decided to rip out the parking lot and let Mother Nature
restore the dune. They also told the people in the house they had to remove the car because it's a What...
environmental hazard.
They even came up with a detailed method of removing the roof, lifting the car out, and filling the garage
with sand trucked in. Don't disturb the native sand. Oh, and get it done as soon as the weather permits.
Yesterday, uh Friday, the contractor said fuck that, I'll yank it out with the front end loader.



Well he got the crossmember, steering box and radiator on the first shot.



He eventually got it all, but I don't think they'll find a buyer.
Tomorrow, monday, they start ripping up the parking lot. Looks like they're qualified.
