minus-squaredustyData@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoBeach house — less maintenance…? Lol. Salt eats everything, moisture rots it all, sand has no concept of personal space and will grit and invade everything. Unless the beach house is at least 3 to 5km away from the shore, you will spend a ton of time and money in constant repairs and maintenance.
minus-squareLumelore (She/her)@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 days agoI was thinking a freshwater beach. I don’t live anywhere near an ocean, but I do live near a bunch of lakes. Yes, the house could be built in a bad location where it ends up flooding, but if it’s on a hill near the lake, then it is fine.
