Mads and Ava purchased a two-acre property in Pamlico County, North Carolina, ending a long search for a base to continue the refit of their boat Spiffy.1:15 The property includes a house, an existing workshop, a bunker, and space for two 40-ft shipping containers — the combination they had been trying to assemble by buying raw land and building from scratch, a plan that repeatedly stalled over flood zones, deed problems, and mineral-rights disputes.2:29 The house is modest: two bedrooms, one upstairs bathroom, one full bath downstairs, a laundry room with a GE washer-dryer, and a gas stove they plan to replace with induction.6:42 Planned alterations include new flooring, a repainted kitchen, and a possible dishwasher.5:31 Mads is installing UniFi Wi-Fi 7 across the full two acres and networking a NAS box in the bunker to the shipping-container workshop for video editing.9:08 Internet is currently asymmetric at 1000 Mbps down / 30 Mbps up.10:16 Moving Spiffy onto the property requires the previous owner to vacate the workshop area within 30 days and the bunker within 60, then the two shipping containers must arrive before the boat can be trailered in — a sequence Mads estimates at six to eight weeks.13:53 Once Spiffy is on-site, interior gutting and rebuilding begins immediately; exterior work and a permanent cover structure, possibly a Quonset hut, come later.19:44 Mads is also planning a roughly 10 kW ground-mounted solar array with a 10–20 kWh battery bank and is soliciting guidance on North Carolina permitting.16:08
