Well, as you might have seen, there's that house just to the east of us that has a huge (old) concrete foundation and staircase in front of the dune line that was uncovered by Ivan and Dennis. He just throws sand on it, rather than removing it. He's the one who always has a big new dune one week after the storms. When I was there last month, he was indeed building a new seawall too. not sure if it's permanent, but as I said earlier, I can't believe that any of these homeowners are going to spend add'l funds to have them removed once built. A local told me he's "bulletproof" because he's tied in with the county somehow. I'll take some pix next week when I'm down there.

Thanks for the information. I know the one you're talking about. I didn't know the seawall being built, but I've seen the new dunes in front of that property after every storm. I figured you have to have a LOT of money to keep rebuilding the dune and to do so immediately. I hope the rest of our area doesn't use seawalls. When I was there after Ivan last year in February, the beach was looking very nice again (relatively speaking of course) with the dunes being rebuilt by the county. They had a long way to go, but the sand was getting quite fluffy and the dune area had some slope. I'll be there Nov. 10 to see for myself. Hope the weather stays beautiful because I miss my tea and scones on the beach in the early mornings.

Luckily, even with a few seawalls and dune damage, I think our seacrest beaches are going to look so much better next season than they did this year. We have a head start on the sand replacement, thanks to Katrina.

Looking forward to that sunlight over the water...wont be long now..
