Valued Seawatch Owners,
This week at Seawatch, Karl from Pyramid Electronics was out & we now have internet in the two units are we are using as offices, so we don’t have to be on “hotspots” anymore! For me that’s very exciting to have this in place! The good news for the owners is with our new system, you won’t have different “zones” around the property to sign into as you walk around the property. You won’t have different passwords for your unit, the lobby, the pool deck, etc., you will just be able to walk around with a consistent signal everywhere! Karl also gave Price Electric the information they needed to begin to wire the rest of the ground floor to complete the data lines. Price Electric also began to install the ceiling lighting in the Housekeeping & Maintenance area of the ground floor. The replacement lighting for the Pool bar, Pool bathrooms & overhang should be here this week. The wiring has already been run. As you might expect, getting all the new turtle lighting would take a few extra days, since not only was every building within 25 miles of us affected, but with all the new changes to the turtle regulations, many businesses are using the same equipment. Fortunately, Sharissa from Solarguard knows the best suppliers to use! Our new representative, Rachel, from Dormakaba, the company that supplies all of RFI door locks was out & we walked through the resort & grounds to determine our needs. She will be putting together a proposal for us. Unfortunately, FPL has not been able to give us a reconnection date yet, after calls on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. The portable generator we’ve been using to power the property failed several times during the week, which accented this issue. The painting group completed all the units & the elevator lobby areas. The wooden railing tops in the atrium were sanded & they began to re-stain them. This should be completed this week. This week we anticipate the rough electric wiring inspection to pass, so we can begin to hang drywall on the ground floor & enclose some ceilings. Hopefully the permits for the plumbing on the pool deck & bathrooms will come through this week, along with the ones for the pool deck, fences, gates & walls, so I am hoping for some early Christmas presents!
This week on FMB, the poinsettia Christmas tree at Times Square was assembled & the Christmas Boat Parade took place reminding us that normalcy will return to our beautiful island, it just takes time.
As a reminder, we are an active construction site so please don’t come to Seawatch to take pictures or look around. I will try to keep you informed of everything I can. We do not have an expected opening date yet & I will do my best to keep you all informed of that as well.
Thank you for your continued support,
Chip & the Seawatch Team.
