That’s greenboard on the bottom. They haven’t shingled it yet.

A house? A cottage? Wouldn’t that be “hacienda”?

Insulated sheathing.

Actually it’s called zip Wall. It’s solid wood sheathing with housewrap laminated to one side. (The green stuff) The tape completes that wrap for great air sealing.

Voter rule #1: never vote for any candidate whose family owns “compound”.

What? The hacienda in mexico or the one in el norte (florida) aren't good enough for him?

Maybe he should head down to Uruguay, Paraguay, or wherever the bush clan has their south american ranch at. He'd fit right in with all of the local NWO socialist dictators there.

THere’s something creepy about the difference in scale in that picture.

They’re only rising in Florida and Alaska.

All the political comments aside, view Walkers Pointe and the Bush compound in G-Earth.
Other former presidents may have more imposing residences, but none of them can match the plot of land the Bushes own.

Then they'll wonder why they have black mold in the walls making everyone sick. It's like living in a thermos bottle

Nope. There are usually controlled air intakes and the sheathing is breathable one way

"Well, SOMEBODY will rent it for a summer home then."

They'll rent it to Obama.
Really. Jeb is more than anxious to reach across the aisle.

I’m sure Jeb Bush won’t mind if anyone who wants to moves in with them.

Or is he planning to replace Susan Collins as designated RINO Senator??

The siding will go over that green stuff. We were just there a couple of weeks ago and wondered why there were so many buildings.

There is a gate with a Secret Service employee stationed in a gatehouse whenever the elder Bushes are in residence. The ocean surrounds nearly all of the compound, forming a natural barrier. Cameras viewing all areas of the ocean constantly send photos back to TV screens in a cottage that is devoted to security. At their age, I suspect they are not in much danger from terrorists or anyone wishing them harm.
I ride by the complex, down Ocean Ave several times a week-beautiful ride- nearly all multi-million dollar homes. Fortunately, the road hugs the oceanfront, so the homes are on the other side of the road and do not hide the view of the water and rocky coast.
Jeb’s house is all shingled now and the landscaping is being finished. The Philbricks who are the contractors built our “very modest” first home over 40 years ago.
Love em or hate em, the elder Bushes have been good for this area-very generous in contributions to many causes.
As an aside, I had lunch with the Bushes at Walker’s Point when G.W.’s twins were 2 years old. Barbara delighted in telling us tales of her family and beloved “Millie”, the cocker spaniel.
No, not many illegals here in town, I suspect.

Yep, and if you go have lunch at The Ramp you’ll see where the Bushes and others signed the wall.

Just an old country bumpkin. Not familiar with the Ramp.

Aaah yes, the Pub. Too fancy for me. Hubby had a boat and mooring at the pier when he was lobstering many, many years ago. Pier 77 was Spicers Galley then. Delivered mail to that entire area in the 70s.
