Renovating in winter comes with unique challenges, and The Ugly Motel is no exception. In this video, we take on fire safety updates, including removing outdated exit lights, addressing smoke detectors that can’t handle freezing temperatures, and tackling questions about exterior sprinkler systems. With temperatures dropping and permits in progress, we’re on a 45-day sprint to modernize the exterior and prepare for bigger renovations in 2025. Follow along as we navigate the hurdles of winter renovations while balancing progress with the harsh elements. If you’re interested in real-world renovation projects or curious about how we’re transforming this space, make sure to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments. Let’s make this an inspiring journey together! #RenovatingInWinter #WinterRenovation #MotelRenovation #TheUglyMotel
