If you are running a home improvement project or an active build in the Daytona Beach area, you have to be ready to lock down your materials at a moment’s notice. When a storm enters the radar, an untamed job site can turn into a serious hazard for your home and your neighbors. Use this quick checklist to protect your budget and your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Anchor the Lumber:<\/strong>Secure all loose structural studs, trusses, and plywood sheets inside a garage or tie them down flat to the ground with heavy-duty ratcheting straps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clear the Fencing Line: <\/strong>If you are in the middle of building a fence, secure any unanchored posts or loose pickets. Pick up all extra post-hole digging tools and metal spades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Secure the Concrete Supplies:<\/strong> Move loose bags of concrete mix, mortar, and sand inside a watertight shed or garage. Wet cement mix is instantly ruined by heavy tropical rains, killing your material budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cap Your Utilities: <\/strong>If you have open plumbing lines or exposed electrical boxes from an ongoing renovation, cover them completely with heavy plastic sheeting and industrial tape to prevent salt-water intrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clean the Perimeter:<\/strong> Walk the exterior of the house and pick up loose fasteners, roofing brackets, shingle scraps, and trash bins. High winds can turn a stray drywall screw into a dangerous projectile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are running a home improvement project or an active build in the Daytona Beach area, you have to be ready to lock down your materials at a moment’s notice.
