A New "Cottage," White Horse Beach, Manomet, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA

White Horse Beach stands beautifully on this late winter day - before the multiple nor'easters brought vicious winds and waves to the coastline.



There is an area of White Horse Beach right on the waterfront that contains a hundred or so mostly summer cottages. ("Cottage" is a loose term).

They are squeezed tightly together originating from a time before more strict zoning rules might have prevented such close proximity. I've always wondered how someone rebuilds a house there.  How do you access it with building equipment? These owners used the panelized/modular technique for building. When the tractor trailer (at left above) arrived loaded with panels, the only thing that was complete was the foundation base. The man with his arms up is providing hand signals and the man in blue has a remote control panel at his waist to maneuver the crane to place each factory constructed panel in position. Twenty four hours later........



.....the structure was complete. Impressive - convenience, speed, precision, and quality.
