Well done, Chuck. The photos are excellent. A few things concern me about
the house. Slab foundation houses in the lowcountry make me nervous. How
far from the ocean is the house? The photos off the back deck show some
standing water with dead pine trees. Pine Trees don't like to have wet feet
and standing water will kill them. The dead trunks look to be 5-10 years
old, so why is there now standing water in this area? Another issue with
the standing water is mosquitoes. We haven't had enough warm weather yet
for them to emerge, so I would check the area again in a few weeks to see
how bad they are. Nice house though.
