Progress on Waterfront Teardown

Teardown 08-10-10

This doesn't look much different from the photo I took two weeks ago - but that's because all the work has been done on the inside rather than the outside.

Yes, there are a few more windows that you can see here. The partition work, however, doesn't show much from the outside,  though you can glimpe it from the windows.

This is a typical waterfront tear-down in St Petersburg, Florida. The old 1970s single family single story home was town down so that this home could be built on a prime cul-de-sac waterfront lot.

By the way - when I first bought in Florida in 1972, I thought it was great to have a corner lot with a big front yard. I soon learned that was lots of maintenance and little privacy. Now I'd opt for a small street-side lot with lots of space and privacy in the back - like this one.

Here's the history of this teardown and rebuild here in St Pete Florida.

How fun Sharon! I went back to your blog - what a difference this home is to the original! Can't wait to see the finished product.

We have lake front here so we talk about sea walls, but you certainly have a lot more considerations to look at, don't you? Very valuable information.

Hi, Debbie - this is the second home the owner is building in the neighborhood so I know the finished product and landscaping will look great.
