homes

This post should have been called the home we missed. It was in our price range but we did not move quickly enough. Before the pandemic resort property moved slowly however during the pandemic resort homes do not stay on the market long.

This specific home has a golf course view and has lots of windows. Even though the house is being sold “as is” there was a contingent sale within one week of going on the market.

This photo shows my dream but it is out of my reach. I would love to buy an island home and an RV van. Maybe the dream says I have not made my mind up.

I would like to relax and enjoy the island life and I would like to travel. This photo shows that both are possible.

Today’s photo shows a red roof found on Seabrook Island. This is another example of a metal roof. Actually you can see a metal roof on the house to the left as well.

The house shown also is an a common example to two single car garages on each side of the home. I think this design such that water can flow under the house during a hurricane.

Most homes are elevated and designed for storm surge to flow under the home without knocking the home off of its foundation.

Today’s photo shows a larger home project. Specifically installing a metal roof. A little research finds the following explanation:

“Unlike many other areas of the United States, coastal areas require a different type of roofing to deal with the weather of the area. Though beautiful for much of the year, coastal weather can some times be very harsh. The roofing materials, that are used on a house in a coastal area, such as West Palm Beach roofing, must be able to withstand high speed wind, salt, storms, and many other elements. The material needs to be durable enough to not fall apart under these environmental pressures.”

Today’s photo shows another beautiful tree in the front yard of a home on Seabrook Island. The photo also shows a fact of life that upkeep is part of owning a home. In this case the home is being painted.

They will have to use a much taller ladder to paint the eves at the top of the home.

Today’s photo showing one of the longest driveways on Seabrook Island. The palm trees add a nice touch. Notice the seashells in the driveway.

A little research finds the following: “From an eco perspective, these are the best,” says Sheridan Foster, founder of Elemental Green, a green home-building and renovation resource. “There are no toxins in the shells. They are made of a renewable resource that is a waste product from the food industry.

Today’s photo shows a home I use as a landmark. When driving on Seabrook Drive I take the first left after passing this beautiful home. Sometimes landmarks are better than GPS.

I take the left to reach our daughters townhouse were we are spending some of our time during the pandemic. As mentioned, in the about page for this blog, where we live has become complicated during the pandemic. We are attempting to sell a condo in Charlotte, we spend most of our time in Lexington South Carolina with our daughter and grandson, also we are spending a week each month on Seabrook Island.
