Social Distancing @ Mar Azul

Framing

What a week! Slowly but surely everything started closing this week in FL for the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic that is happening right now around the world.

The state of FL was issued a Safer-at-Home Order and the Volusia County Beaches decided to CLOSE (not just parking, but for walkers/bikers/surfers too!). The house seems to just keep cruising along though so far! We’re curious to know if it will slow down at a point or if we’ll have trouble getting materials at a point. Probably too hard to know just yet!

We went on a bike ride to check on the Mar Azul project this morning and peeked around and got some pix. The girls don’t think much happened since last week, but it looks like quite a few things did get done. The overhangs by the garages, hurricane bracing and plumbing all looks to be in the works and near complete! The windows don’t go in till the beginning of June, so we’re super curious what all will happen over the next 2 months.

UPDATE: As of about 1pm today, Volusia County updated the beach rules and Biking/Surfing/Walking/Jogging/Running — All are allowed again. WOOO HOOOO!!!!

Ocean Peaks + Views

Windows

Well surprise surprise! Lookie what we found today when we went into the house and up to the 2nd floor.

Ocean Views + Lighthouse Views all around.

This view is from the master bedroom + we can actually get a pretty good look at the Atlantic from up there. The light and color is awful because it was so early in the morning and the sun was just rising up.

Thank GOODNESS we changed all the windows to regular glass (and not frosted / opaque) a few weeks back, just in case. Or at least I’m hoping we did and that wasn’t a dream. ?

The guest suite doesn’t really get any sort of fun views, but the sunsets from there should be pretty awesome.
