Would you build here?  Wordless Wednesday. 

Beach Sand

There is an old story about building on solid ground and not on the sand.  Ground like this will not support very much and a solid house requires a firm footing and foundation.  A firm foundation includes solid representation from your agent and your lender.  If you wouldn't build on such a site, why consider less than solid assistance and guidance when buying or selling?

Hi Ralph, A sandcastle might be appropriate.

Dan, very good point! An agent or lender with a solid foundation of experience will make for a better transaction. Thanks.

Dan, no, I wouldn't build there, but I did like how you tied the solid representation from a Realtor into it!  Good job!

Thanks for all the comments.  Elsie & I took the kids to Long Beach Washington a couple years ago and enjoyed flying kites finding sand dollars and other shells and just getting away.  Having time with my family recharges my batteries.

Hi Dan, that looks like a picture that should be in the Name That Photo group lol.  Walking along a beach has a way of making everything right in the world (temporarily lol)

Take a look at all those homes on North Carolina's Outer Banks.  They are indeed built on nothing but sand and they survive quite nicely until the ocean moves the shoreline West.  There are techniques for building most anywhere.
