Then I would invite four friends to come and each build a yurt or other environmentally sensitive/green friendly housing on the island. I would create a system of paths for walking to various viewpoints and one to the old cellar hole where I'd put benches modeled on the twig railing in the house and I'd instal hummingbird feeders by the benches. It would be my vision of paradise.  |
I like your idea best! Perhaps we could go halves.
I would like to install an air-fill station (compressor) somewhere near the water. Perhaps something solar-powered (don't know if there is such a beast, but I can dream...).
Have you ever seen the house "on the top of the island"? What's it like?
