In words attributed to Winnie the Pooh, "sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes, I just sits." This east-facing view looks across Cape Cod Bay. Twenty miles distant is the upper arm of Cape Cod. Water temp at a mid-bay buoy is still only 41 degrees F.
Bluff-top houses are majestic and dramatic places but, not always without some potential hazard. In this case, the sandy slope has given way, eroding right up to the porch steps. Likely an expensive proposition to remediate.
A load of boulders will be placed to shore up the base of the bluff and hopefully stabilize it against future collapse.
This house seems to be far enough back from the edge and the stabilizing plant growth may ward off a similar problem from occurring.
