Doesn't make a lick of sense to me. |

These are stairs that are 60 feet high set in sand, the 70,000 seems a little high but when you consider the hight and Safety factor of building the stairs, setting up staging on sand these have to be all pressure treated wood and stainless nails/screws I bet the price is right on, and didn't they say two different sets of stairs?

I dunno I watched 2 carpenters take two weeks to build a little connector deck between 2 modular classrooms, really nothing more than a weekend project.
I can see stairs being 70 grand, then having cost overruns and coming in 40% over budget, with a strike or two thrown in.

Longnook and Ballston have historically taken a beating by the Atlantic. In the early 70s a kid was buried at Longnook by an unstable dune and was lost. Just after that Ballston broke through to the Pamet and Truro and Provincetown were an island, briefly. There's some pics at the fishmarket beside Nelson's Too and the Hillside farmstand.

As long as they let us drive on the beach if not then it's a long way to carry your kayak

remember both incidents... there was much talk of the Ballston/Pamet break becoming permanent at some point....
as we know, nothing is permanent in the sand...but that is a logical place for a break in the cape..at some point in time, in the future...as is the area near the Orleans Eastham town line...the Rotary area... the historic site of Jerimiah's Gutter... the first CC...(almost) canal.... |
