In 2007 the entire plumbing system was replaced and both hot and cold water were supplied to the garage.'||chr(10)||''||chr(10)||'Electric:'||chr(10)||'In 2007 the electric was upgraded. A new breaker box was installed. The room on the south side of the house was completely rewired. New circuits were installed in the kitchen and parts of the living room. Outlets were upgraded throughout the house with safety breaker outlets installed in kitchen and bathroom. Exterior lights were installed at each entrance. New electric circuits were installed to the garage. Both 110 and 220 volts were installed and are under ground in separate electrical PVC conduits.

The bathroom walls are the original 1950 tile, the bathroom floor was installed in 2007 with a retro 1950s pattern.

The basic landscape concept is to create a dwarf native forest around the perimeter of the property with native understory and shrubs. These feature plants were placed to create an esthetic flow that is rare in native plantings. This landscape has created a self-sustainable environment that does not need any irrigation, or fertilizer. It supplies numerous birds with food and shelter. The landscape also creates an environment that beneficially regulates temperatures. McPherson and Simpson's published research state that "trees can cool daytime summer air temperatures by about 10°F". This not only creates a more pleasant environment but also can save energy. To the south of the house there are three pond cypress trees that are deciduous. They cool the property in the summer with shade and in the winter when the sun is low in the southern hemisphere they drop their leaves to let the sun shine through warming the property. '||chr(10)||''||chr(10)||'The concept was developed by Walter Roslan who has been professionally involved in the green industry over 40 years; he is certified as a horticulturist (since 1979) and arborist by the International Society of Arboriculture (since 1998). He has worked as a designer supervisor for a number of firms including Rockledge Gardens and as an independent contractor since 1990. His work has evolved from traditional to sustainable environmental design. He oversaw the installation and maintenance of a number of reclamation and mitigation wetland projects for the Fairfield Corporation. He also has served on the architectural review board for the Bay Tree Development in Melbourne Florida.'||chr(10)||''||chr(10)||'Irrigation:'||chr(10)||'The existing landscape does not need irrigation. It was established to be self-sustainable by use of a drip irrigation system that delivered water to the root zone of the plants at the time of planting. The water to the plants was decreased as the plants' roots grew into the soil that was not irrigated. The plants have thrived for many years without irrigation. The manifold control system is located in the garage. There is an input supply line with inline shut-off and backflow valves, and three separate irrigation lines; two of these three irrigation lines supplied the overall property by connecting to drip poly pipe, and one line runs to both planters where there are poly pipe connections. This manifold system can be connected with new poly pipe for any new drip system, or converted to a more traditional system. It also can be equipped with solenoid valves and timer for an automatic system.'||chr(10)||''||chr(10)||'Well:'||chr(10)||'There is an existing well in the northeast corner of the property. The wellhead is covered with a 4 inch white P.V.C. pipe and cap. The well was never used by the owner and may be another source of water.'||chr(10)||'
