Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone who is on island can post an update.

The surveyors use a theodolite. Google it and that will give you more detail. When I built the pool on the beach at Necker Is I had a uneven beach, I got a level over the whole area of the pool, the plans said to dig down 6ft and we did and once finished the bottom was completely level. Make sense?

Guess it depends on how you read it, but they removed all the debris from when they demolished the buildings that were there. Apparently they were pretty careful about that.

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure whether that picture was current or not, as there doesn't look like anything there. Anyone on island, please do post an update when you can.

They will be putting restaurants back in and shops, along with a parking lot and restrooms. There are some other threads that have drawings of what it is supposed to look like.

I spoke with Cheryl, she'll be back. Same name, but the artist rendition looks like a cookie cutter cubes. Don't know what Cheryl did with all the plates. I would think she'd hang some to keep with the theme of the old place/charm.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

DPD1968 said: Don't worry, it was the owners and employees that gave the places there character. After we get used to the look of the new buildings and see our old friends all we be good again! Well said. These people have overcome the complete destruction of their livelihoods by hurricane less than 12 months ago. I fail to see how a new building will represent a serious hurdle to their ability to deliver what so many of us enjoy.
There's a small fortune to be made in racing; just start with a large one.
