The pictures are rather dark but as you can see they built an extension to the home over a creek. Apparently the homeowner has a whole water garden in the back and building over the creek allowed him the ability to expand and not disturb the flow of the water.
That’s all fine and good, but what happens during a flood like we got in Hurricane Floyd? The owner promised to let me visit the garden at some point and I’ll update the site with more pictures and the full story when I do it.
