"Your cabin in the sea ..."Can you imagine standing on the shore on Lake Hartwell, looking to the middle of a tiny inlet and nodding, "That's where I'm putting my house"?
My, how times have changed ... because in Miami during the 1930s, more than a few people did exactly the incredible, and began building houses on pilings along Biscayne Channel. Without having to consult bothersome building codes, zoning ordinances, or anything of the sort.
(above- Miami Springs Power Boat Club, 1950s)Sadly, in 1992 Hurricane Andrew left just seven of the remaining fourteen houses standing.
