A mishap with some hair product in a garbage can has just caused an evacuation at Illusions Hair Design. So much for my day of beauty!
I’m lucky I had just sat down for my hair appointment and didn’t have my head in a towel so I was able to walk away and reschedule…others are in the middle of their service and are kind of stuck waiting for the air to clear.
Poor qualify photos thanks to my Treo.

Bulkheads, barges and saving homes from tear downs
February 6, 2008 by 1 Comment
A Beach Drive Blog reader asks:
…water is eroding the base of our bulkheads. Anyone know of a contractor that can check it out?
Another reader is looking for a barge service:
…that can bridge from the boat to my bulkhead, as it is on the sound and their is no dock.
Last tid bit is from a reader who offers to save homes from becoming a tear down, she…
might be able to save that little brown house from ending up in a land fill by moving it to a new location and sprucing it up.
Do you know of anyone who can help?
