The place is growing, but it still looks desolate, streets are mostly without asphalt, people just go there mostly on winter time from the north for vacation, so the town is pretty quite on summer time, and looks like renters does not stay long.

Frank,Thank you for the detail advises and tips, your responses gave me lots more details I'll be looking out for.As far as the the gravel driveway, I should have mentioned the road so the roads surrounding the park are gravel, I personally don't like gravel roads especially in the winter time, snow removal is a pain. 

Your pipe need to be under the frost line or be insulated to prevent being frozen in winter time (MN is cold)I love to work with the new PEX pipe.

The first one paid a few months and then left without notice during wintertime. 

It's winter time so the internet is frozen in Canada.

If your friend in Maine ever wants some advice on how to insulate his space so he can start renting it in the winter time, just let me know.

As was mentioned in another thread, I'm thinking about waiting until winter time to get bids on the work because everyone seems to be swamped in my area (San Marcos, Tx) at the moment. 

Looking to go in wintertime where the water will still be nice and warm, with snorkeling and clean modern amenities, good food and reasonably priced.

I'm leaning towards mini split ductless heat pumps but they are expensive upfront and may not provide enough heat in the winter time.

Mike Im kind of out of my league here on advice as I am in sunny S calif and you are in Jersey.I would consult with the local water provider and a local father and son plumbing shop for the meter splits.Remenber get the best possible insulation to avoid burst water mains in the winter time.Steam heat is a mystery to me as we simply dont need it here in Los Angeles.We crank up gas wall heaters a couple months in the wintertime aside from that,,,,thats about it.Again seek competant local help.I reccomend smaill family business with good reputations cant go wrongDD
