Working a highway corridor
State Road 78 through Bayshore has been under some form of widening, resurfacing or utility work for years, and that is the steady account here. A Bayshore road crew wants the unit to travel with the closure, so it is repositioned at every service rather than left a half mile behind the paving train.
Right-of-way placement along Bayshore is agreed with whoever holds the road permit. We set well back behind the cones and a Bayshore driver will not leave a unit anywhere a lane shift could put traffic against it.
Acreage lots off the highway
Behind the corridor, Bayshore is acre and half-acre parcels with workshops, horse sheds and long gravel drives. A Bayshore owner build keeps a single standard unit for the duration, set where the drive widens near the road rather than at the far end by the treeline.
Well and septic systems are standard across Bayshore, and a replacement leaves a household with nothing for the best part of a week. A Bayshore septic call gets a unit the same day wherever there is a slot on the northern run.
Sand, hardpan and summer downpours
The shoulders through Bayshore are sand over hardpan, firm in a dry spell and unreliable the morning after a downpour. If a Bayshore placement can only be reached across a unimproved shoulder, tell us beforehand and the driver brings boards to set on.
Rain here arrives in the afternoon through the wet season and ditches fill fast either side of the Bayshore corridor. Long Bayshore placements sit on a fixed Thursday visit, and crews working the full summer are better served twice a week than once.
