With May just days away and Memorial Day only 5 weeks away it is crunch time.

At our major renovation project on the Oak Bluffs harbor on East Chop the hardwood floor has been started. The tile floor is also going on. Doors being hung. The landscape plans have been set and submitted to the town for approval. The crew has started to trench for the new water line that will be installed.

Off of Barnes Road our project is moving right along. The butcher blocks are going in the kitchen. The doors and trim are in progress. Next few weeks the electrical and plumbing inspections will be called in.

At our two smaller renovation projects the one on Laurel Ave. in Oak Bluffs the painting is under way, the floors finished. The tile work in the bathroom is in progress.

At my own house the painting is almost complete and the electrician will be back over to install the new lighting next week. Final photos to come next week.

Keep up the good work everyone and we will check in again next week!

Busy, busy, busy bees here as keep plugging along at the long list of “to do’s” before Memorial Day and things are constantly being checked off the list.

The homes we caretake have had the water turned back on, the outdoor furniture put out and batteries changed in the smoke detectors.

Up in West Tisbury the Trotter’s Lane project is complete on our end. The certificate of occupancy has been issued to the owner. The owner will now paint and do the landscaping themselves to stay on budget. We hope they enjoy their new place to call home on Martha’s Vineyard!

At the Red House job on the Oak Bluffs harbor work continues to move along. The drywall has been hung. The crew is in the process of taping and mudding currently in the living room. The foyer of the house has “Shiplap” going up and I must say it is looking fabulous.
