How cool is that! Really great that Mr Mandell took the time to record history in the making!
OK, that is completely crazy. Thanks Matt!
Well, that’s certainly one for the History books! (but why does it seem this is someplace in Spain?) Cheers.
Dan, I drove by earlier this afternoon and frankly the old house does not look very secure on its “underpinnings”…in fact it seems to be tilting somewhat backwards. Just another one of my concerns about the old place. Future planting, suggested earlier, is very secondary. Tina Gangi
That was very fun and fascinating to view. Ole!
Music was adorable and very fitting for the speedy vid! Cute stuff!
This is wonderful. I only wish I could have gotten over there to see it in person. Thanks to all, especially David Waldman and partners who agreed to this Westport Adventure!
