Speechless Sundays - Granny Flat in the Sky?

Visiting the USS Constitution in Boston, MA with Lisa Von Domek last week, I pondered thought of having my own granny flat (ADU) right on the Bay - even if it is on stilts! Ahh, those views would be spectacular. The only problem I found was accessing the flat - especially with an armload of groceries! 

 

ADU in the sky

 

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Dear Debe,

Definitely a great view from this "fixer upper." Is the crane mechanism sensitive enough to pick dinner off the passing fishing vessels?

Debe, sounds like another version of  the old Broadway play (and movie), Barefoot in the Park!  This type of living is for the young and the agile!

LOL You know I hadn't even gotten that far in my thinking, Dörte! I would save on the groceries that you'd have to haul right up, wouldn't it?!

Now, isn't that the truth - it would definitely require good knees, Patricia Kennedy! LOL

Debe, just reading your post my knee started hurting and it was an excruciating pain.... so with that said may I suggest the granny flat to be maybe in a boat on the water?:))Endre

Morning Debe.

I believe it was last year when we went east and saw the USS Constitution.  It was a moment I will never forget

Looks like a challenging fixer upper to me but I can see the possibilities.

Ha-ha-ha Debe Maxwell, CRS oh, the things we could do to make this fixer upper a real home...okay, maybe not (LOL)

Too funny, Debe.  It doesn't appear to be handicap accessible however.  Do we have a price tag on that little jewel?

Oh, I'm all for a yacht, Endre Barath, Jr. - that's just not in the budget!

It was quite interesting, James Dray - Boston was just chock-full of fascinating history. I could have spent a full week touring!

LOL Yes, but, oh the possibilities, Joe Pryor! I believe an elevator would be my priority!

Ha! Yes, the bones are good and the view, spectacular! We'd have to install an elevator to get our contractors and decorators in so the job wouldn't take years to complete, Lisa Von Domek!! Really - wouldn't that be such a fun project?!

No, the ADA wouldn't approve, Myrl Jeffcoat but, elevators are not too pricey! We'd have to have one installed...for Ray and for me! LOL
