I’ve been away from the property for the last few weeks coordinating everything from afar, and now I’m ready to head back down there to check out the progress and get the appliances installed. We’ve been working on getting the plumbing and electrical components set up on the underside of the house, and I’ve cleared the bushes out from the side of the house to reduce the number of mosquitos that have become quite a nuisance. We’ve cleared out much of the old decking and plan to replace it with new boards before painting the entire deck with DeckOver paint so that everything matches. We also plan to replace the doors and screen on the rest of the porch. We’ve gotten our shipment of waterproof, scratch-resistant vinyl flooring that we plan to put down in the house. This durable flooring is made to mimic wood planks and will look great once it’s installed in the house.  This house is incredibly hurricane-proof. We’ve finished rebuilding the ceiling rafters and they’re ready to get some finishing touches with paint. We’ve also rewired the ceiling fan so it’s no longer plugged into the wall, but instead operates on a switch, giving the living room a cleaner, more put-together look. Because the home is so hurricane-proof, we had to get creative with the wiring because we couldn’t get through the upper walls. Any wiring that’s not set into the walls will be painted to match the color of the room. We had a big hang-up with the shower, as we were hoping to move the drain to fit a smaller platform. One of the main joists for the home sits near the shower, so we couldn’t move the drain like we thought we would. We’ll be able to build a small footwall in the corner of the shower and use some great mosaic tile for the backsplash. We’ve finally gotten the refrigerator in place and should be finishing the countertops within a couple of days. We’ve also almost finished the laundry room, after running the electrical for the A/C window unit and the lighting for both the inside and outside of it. We’ve also finished installing a custom-sized door in the laundry room that takes you out to the patio. So that concludes my progress update for the Port Aransas beach house. If you have any questions or would like some ideas on your own project, please reach out to me. I’d be happy to help!
