  • Demolition at the Shore

    demolitionBecause homes at the shore are situated close to one another, demolition has to be an exact science.  The common practice is to create a “doll house” by tearing down from within…fascinating to watch.

  • Toys of Summer

    BigWheelThe quick family visit included: one perfect beach day, time at the playground, family dinners, a rainy afternoon at the movies, and a trip to the Cape May County Zoo.  The Big Wheel was a hit, too  🙂

  • Back to Typical May

    lifeguardstandWe were spoiled with summer like weather recently.  Today’s fog is more typical of May at the Jersey Shore.  The thick mist swirls around and you return soaking wet from a morning walk.

    Excited to see the new addition to our beach this morning…a lifeguard stand!  Another sign of summer  🙂

  • Sand Castle- 1st of Season

    sandcastle2Yesterday was a perfect beach day…and the start of a long weekend family gathering. 

    The construction of a serious sand castle was on the list of things to do.  The 20 something nephews handled layout and design (their engineering background helps), and they permitted some cosmetic upgrades from other family members eager to help!

    Enjoy the weekend 🙂

  • Technology v. Power Washers

    flipcameraMy newest real estate gadget- a Flip video camera to post location shots on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/anndelaneybeach

    With a clearning sky, I decided to experiment this morning.  Thought a weekday would be best (fewer cars on the street)- however, I didn’t factor in the extra sound effects: lawn mowers, power washers, and construction noise!  We are in the final count down to Memorial Day weekend, and there are workers all over the island completing their winter projects.

    Will use the added music feature on the computer program before I post the finished product :)     UPDATE: I posted 4 new videos (the neighborhoods of 3 sale properties and the 96th Street bridge going up…just for fun).Â
