MY NEIGHBOR'S HOME IS BEING RENOVATED

I have been watching with some interest the last few weeks as my neighbor renovates

his home.

WWW.FEDERALHOMEREALTY.COM

The first thing they did was th remove a very large tree and put it on a BARGE and

take it north on the intracoastal waterway.

I am only hoping that the tree was planted somewhere else.

Palm trees were moved to one corner of the yard. I would guess to get them out of the way

from bull-dozers.

I could hear banging and jack hammer noise coming from inside.

I could see that the floor tile and all the dry wall has been removed from the interior.

Then they started on the roof, removing cement tiles obviously that were causing a MAJOR LEAK

that being said and done , a roof over the patio had its tiles removed also.

And then both the area of roof #1 and the patio roof were removed all together.

Look at the photos closely and you can see the demolition.

The swimming pool and spa were also drained.

Work progress daily from 8 a.m. to 4p.m.

The home is direct intracoastal and encompasses the entire point lot.

The cost of the renovation is $$$$$$$

A great investment for this point location in Boca Raton.

I will keep you updated as to the progress.

It is my hope that they have a correct set of bluprints.

I will be giving my neighbor the photos of the demolition and reconstruction.

Captain Wayne, thanks for stopping by. It is a beautiful location. The point lot on the main

intracoastal waterway. It doesn't get any better than that.

Have a great day.

So much activity there. Can't wait to see the end result.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Good afternoon Irene.

That is a great place to live in.

A great post indeed.

I will keep you posted on the renovation.

So easy to come home to.

Thanks for stopping by Joshua, it is indeed a super location.

Living on the intracoastal, the view is always changing. Different yachts , wave runners

canoes, anything that floats you will likely see go by your door.

Sounds like a possibility of defective drywall maybe..,

Irene, That is not a cheap rennovation! I too hope that they are able to transplant that tree! Great photos, I really like the first one prior to beginning of demolition.

Jul 27, 2012 01:37 PM

Hi Kevin, I wondered about the dry wall since it has all been removed as well as the floor tile. It could be an issue with

small children.

Jul 27, 2012 09:32 PM

Hi Tony, the first photo was taken very early in the morning while the intracoastal

waterway was very calm.

As the day progresses the yachts go by and keep the water moving.
