I've moved all the photos and information about the construction of our house in the Florida Keys over to a single article on our web site at: www.mvadventures.com

The house is finished and rented out, though we're still working on some landscaping and building the seawall this fall.  When that's finished, we'll plant two or three large palm trees on the canal side of the house, and they can work on getting tall while we're cruising.

We love the Keys because of all the nature and because they're just a little different.  One example of how they're different is the boating season.  Normally this is the time of year when everyone is just launching their boats that were stored up on land for the winter.  In the Keys, many people haul their boats for the summer storm season before they head north.  It's just all backwards.

People in the Keys march to the beat of their own drummer.  On Big Pine, there's a hair cut place in a bar.  You can't make this stuff up.  Read the sign - carefully.
