So I look behind my building one day and notice that the big weird roller coaster amusement park thingee is gone. Now there's just a huge expanse of land behind me and I can see the original mountain.



I fly over for a look. An I find the land is actually quite cheap. Of course it is. It's not waterfront. Anyone can build something in front of it.

BUT....

I own the two waterfront lots in front of it. So that means that for my purposes it IS waterfront. I have a good shot at keeping this view. Took some thinking, but not much, to make me buy the two lots behind the two I already own.

One of the first things I did was to climb up to the top of the mountain and sit to take a good look. Its a wonderful view!




I quickly started a project to replace the building I already had. It was a fun build, but in many way shows my inexperience. I loved the idea of having a shot from scratch.

My first attempt pretty much looked like a large fish tank...






Ah...but a fish tank with great views. I really like how the inside took advantage of the view down the mountain and out to the sea.



So the layout was cool with me. But I stated working on giving the building just a bit more character. Slope part of the roof down. Add some color on the walls. Stairs inside. A veranda leading to an outside deck.

May still be somewhat boxy, but feels much better to me now.







Can't wait to do more. My wish for my birthday is unlimited time!
