One question I get asked a lot… “How do you know if it’s Hank, Fred, or the elusive George?”. Simple…just call them by one of their names, and if they respond, you know you’re talking to the correct one. This is “Hank”. 🌴🌴🌴🌴

From a 55inch to a 75inch. Even after all my eye surgeries…I can see this tv screen. Also, streaming shows/videos isn’t an issue after connecting it to the new StarLink internet service. Enjoy! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🍹🐬

The complete upper deck rebuild has been completed! Thank you Fort Morgen Services for getting the job done. The new TimberTech decking is suppose to keep it 20 degrees cooler than other composite decking….fingers crossed on that. Also, we’ve upgraded to StarLink internet, so hopefully this will increase data speeds and have fewer outages…that was common with BrightSpeed & MediaCom. Enjoy! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🍹🦈

A lot of guest ask me where I tend to hangout in Gulf Shores. Well…all the local Gulf Shores people will definitely recognize the guy in this picture with me. BR is a local legend in the area and is the owner of The Sloop. Another fact….he also assisted in the behind-the-scenes work when we filmed our first episode with HGTV’s My Lottery Dream Home S1E9.
So, if you’re in Gulf Shores, Alabama, swing by The Sloop and visit BR…and tell them Uncle Pete sent you. The Philly Cheesesteak with Cheez-Whiz with onion is amazing!

Okay….unless there is another Powerball winner that purchased a beach house in Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan, Alabama….this will be the our new episode we got to film with HGTV’s My Lottery Dream Home and its wonderful host David Bromstad. This special episode of “where are they now” will catch up with three previous featured winners. This episode will also show our second beach house “Marisol”, which is located in the Martinique on the Gulf resort. Airs this Friday 2/27 2026 @ 8:00 central time. Hope you enjoy it! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🍹🐬

The new deck rebuild is coming alone. The TimberTech Cool Touch decking is supposed to keep the deck 30 degrees cooler than other types of composite decking….which will make summer on the deck a whole lot cooler. 🌴🌴🌴🌴🍹🐬
