Comments (13)It is a person, but looking closely at the original, he is sitting down next to a blue cooler. This zoom on the first image gives a better idea of the size relative to people. According to wikipedia it is 160 ft tall, 1180 ft long at the top, and descends about an inch from one end to the other. It was built to bring water to Nimes, and it only descends 56 ft over the course of its 31 mile length. Truly impressive....See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Mon Apr 29

Comments (9)The idiot who looks after the apt bldg across the street insists on using the snow blower when a quick shoveling will do. NO snow on the sidewalks, streets or parking lot, yet he's out at 6:30 this morning. There was some ice here and there, but he'd rather fire up the blower. I'm sure it's good for it!...See More

9 years agoI spent the last several days in Maine helping to pack up my father-in-law's house. He decided last summer that he probably wouldn't be able to stay there next summer, and to instead sell the house. Over Christmas much of the family gathered there to clean the house, divvy up much of the furnishings, and to stage the place for sale. Well, it did sell. Closing was this past Friday. My wife and I and one of her brothers and one of her sisters were there packing up all of the remaining stuff One 16' moving truck drove off bound for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We drove the other 16' truck to Connecticut, New Jersey, and finally back to Virginia.
We were so busy that I didn't get but a few pictures, but here are a few from past visits.

The light house
We'll probably go back at some point to visit her cousins, but , of course, it won't be the same.

9 years agoIt is a lovely house, especially considering that this is the view from the kitchen window
It also has beautiful, well-tended gardens
including prolific raspberry bushes
Although the interior hasn't been updated for quite some time (this is pre-cleaning and staging)
and the layout (especially upstairs) is somewhat dysfunctional, with low, head-bonking ceilings, and a bath room that is also functions as the only hallway between one bedroom and the rest of the upstairs. Additionally we were concerned that the condition of the rubble foundation might frighten potential buyers, or cause them to demand extensive, expensive repairs even though the foundation has been unchanged for decades.So although we thought it was a good house in a great location, and will be somewhat sad that it is gone, we are happy and thrilled that it sold as quickly as it did, especially since the buyers seem to love the house.
