Get a little rain, did ya?
It’s rain and coastal flooding about a hour and half from high tide. Don’t believe the BS that “living shoreline” is better than a sea wall. It’s good for stopping erosion, and I think the puking village idiots didn’t really follow what the ACE authorized. Anyway yeah, I live by the water and shiz like this happens… I choose it but this flipping work they did to make things better has changed the numbers and has also likely made the flood zone wider. Stay safe up there. @TheDudeLebowski that is not something I would want to see in person! Wow!Get a little rain, did ya?
Hoppy, you sound a lil miffed ...It’s rain and coastal flooding about a hour and half from high tide. Don’t believe the BS that “living shoreline” is better than a sea wall.

You are correct Smurf! Yes I am! I spent a few hours of my life sitting in a village board meeting where I was lied to about this project on the bay. I had asked two clear and unambiguous questions one about the elevation and one about the potential height of the plants that would be used. The elevation answer was a lie, (or someone just pocketed the grant money that was to be spent on hauling away soil.) the plants, well that remains to be seen, for all I know they may have been uprooted and washed away yesterday.Hoppy, you sound a lil miffed ...
Ya know, the worst thing about it was missing the HBC holiday party, and guess who brewer of the year is? LOL
I’ll DM where you can send your dues for 2024, and make sure you get your invitation! I’ll even pick you up at the ferry so you can avoid those fabulous bridges of NYC....my invite must've gotten lost in the mail...
Yes sir, you know your business, the previous owners had a makeshift drywell for gray water and the galvanized pipe that was under the surface eventually collapsed leading me to temporarily run a pvc pipe into what we call the swamp. Some passerby evidently made a report to DEC . When the armed officer knocked at the door hubby nearly , so I answered the questions. He wanted to know if it is my property, what’s gray water, and if I was certain there was no stream . No citations .That phragmites grass tells me your garage is indeed in a wet spot. Best of luck, we see a lot of that sort of thing around here as well.
Funny thing about that species of grass, around here is it is considered an unwanted invasive, but since it is always in a wetland, one has to get a permit to mow or try to remove it.
No citations .
A dude across the street had dug out two small “pools” in front of his house wheeled the dirt across the street and dumped it at the edge of the swamp… it was nice and neat like someone buried a body. The least he could have done was spread it out a little....and a new, suspiciously well fertilized, nosy busybody shaped patch of grass in The Swamp?

there's a hair joke somewhere there, about getting old...Looking forward to some white stuff to cover all the gray stuff...
Maybe so, and I would be happy to field a gray hair joke, if I had any left.there's a hair joke somewhere there, about getting old...
