Work continues on the motel. They are way behind schedule, but just keep going. Last weekend railings were prefabbed and painted and will likely be installed this week. The concrete work that I reported on last week was not actually a problem with the contractor. I now hear that the problem is related to property ownership. The next section of concrete was to go on the south entrance to the motel, but this is owned by Richy and he has it listed for sale. The property line goes just north of the tennis court fence. If the new buyer does something with this area, it would allow access to the motel only from the area south of the tennis court. The solution will probably be to take down the tennis court and oleanders and provide access directly from Fulton Beach Road. This would make sense since the new improved curb appeal of the motel is blocked by the bushes and tennis court.
Justin is in California to oversee the repair to his father's Denny's restaurent. In the interim, Rob is taking his place as property manager.
Bayfront Enterprises, Rob and Robbie's company, has purchased a pontoon boat to work on the finger piers and other posts in the marina.
Cyrena(501) says their unit is under contract. They never had to list it. Pack(307) has listed their place with Key Allegro for $279,000. Three other units have "For Sale" signs on them.
Contractors, Zack and Jeremy, are still working to remodel 508. They take breaks to fish and barbque, but keep working at a steady pace. They say they will likely finish later this week.
Representatives from the AEP came out last week to figure out just who should be paying for which security lights. That's good news.
Moyra, former owner of 206, is taking a tour of the middle east. She first went to Dubai and then to Jordan and other countries and planned a trip through the Suez Canal. She has more energy than I do.
The wind contines very strong this week and will last at least until the weekend. I'm anxious to get back out to fish since it looks like things are picking up. The oysters boats have rerigged to go for shrimp. I guess this means the oyster season will end before Parks and Wildlife lifts the ban. A worker at Casterline's told me the ban went into effect March 7 and they didn't hear about it for a week and had to throw away $4,000 worth of oysters. He said they had eaten some and no one had become sick. He thinks they over reacted.
