Not sure where this is, Terry, but it reminds me of a funny story. Back in the 1930′s, Glasgow folk used to build huts up by Loch Lomond. They would stay in them at the weekends – some of their descendents still do. Many of these people were shipyard workers and, inevitably, their huts contained items “borrowed” from the shipyards e.g. Cunard style windows. One such “owner” was horrified to see his boss walking up the road, towards his hut, one day. He felt he had no choice but to ask him in for a wee dram or a cup of tea. The boss accepted and wandered around the place examining the way it was built. The owner, quite flustered, said that the hut had taken some time to build but was still unfinished. “In that case”, said his boss, “I hope, when its complete, you will be kind enough to invite me to the launch”.
Thanks, this is Edmonds Washington, where I live. These Huts are all worth about 500,000BP at least, view property is very expensive. Now I dont live in one of those for sure but the beach is quite a place. Actually is an underwater park for scuba divers.

Nice painting, by the way.
