In Eastport the guy is real salt of the earth. Smart too.
Some have said handsome, but there had been some drinking before such comments.

thanks for the link, It is much better than when try to read the code in text.

quote=mainebrokerman;15485911]here's a copy of maine's shoreland regulations

also, be sure to talk with the local code officer/authority before you start any building, some requirements may differ in different towns
good luck!!

Possible erosion troubles. DEP feels that this buffer will help keep the land out of the water and helps filter rainwaer and runoff going into the ocean/lakes, etc.
