Question Two "Heads-Up" Items...

At one of the northern-most Rattlesnake Island locations, I saw a 4" diameter steel pipe being driven into the end of a new breakwater during that breakwater's construction phase. This was a Broads-side lot, and what appeared to be a steel casing was driven into the lake bed.

This was about six years ago, but it could have been an even older recollection—maybe within the last ten years.

I thought it might have been reinforcement for the new breakwater, but could it have been for a well for allowing year-round water? (Saving a few hours at closing-up time?)

My immediate neighbors had "first right of refusal" on an abutting ~2-acre lot, but lost that 2001 case in the NH Supreme Court—and subsequently, their own two lots . (Today, I have three McMansions for neighbors. )

Their attorney later lost his license to practice law—PM me for details.

It could have been the way the deed was written as their particular "first right of refusal" was written around 1952.
