A house of lies
“MY FAMILY WANTS TO BUILD a new three-bay boathouse, but I’m panicking just thinking about how angry it’ll make our neighbours and how expensive it’ll be to repair every time there’s a flood or ice damage. Are boathouses even worth building?”
You must be a very brave person to even suggest that building a boathouse might be a dumb idea. Boathouses are one of the pre-eminent symbols of cottagedom. To question their validity would be considered vile heresy by some, right up there with throwing rocks at a loon or plastering Hello Kitty stickers on, is way cooler. But that was TV.
