Take the steps, make the climb. The steps in your house, out your front door, a set of bleachers, the steps down to the beach, staircases at work, steps on the Strand, there are steps everywhere, the climbing options are countless.

Today, we ask America to climb.
Twenty-five years ago, 343 FDNY firefighters climbed into the World Trade Center to save others. They climbed toward danger. They climbed with courage. They never came home.
For decades, the fire service has climbed to remember them. This year, the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is inviting everyone to join them.

Climb. Share. Challenge

Climb one flight of stairs, anywhere, in honor of the 343 and every firefighter who has made the ultimate sacrifice.
Then:
• Record your flight at ForThe343.org
• Share your tribute
• Challenge three others to climb
Every flight will be counted as America comes together to symbolically finish their climb.
Take the first step today: https://ForThe343.org

The Sunrise in got some TLC recently. A house that is over 100 years old need lots of love.

The Sunrise in is just blocks from the beach and the Sea-mist, sand, and wind can beat up a house inside and out.

The latest Work Camp completed many tasks.

We discovered the thrill of replacing window weights. We started with the kitchen windows. The windows have to be taken completely apart and then repaired and repainted.

The 2 year project of building a new blow through was finished.

Several windows were scrapped and painted.

Tiles in the parkay floor were replaced.

The kitchen was painted and new molding installed.

New decor was added and fresh new curtains hung.

Gave the gardens some TLC after the February Freeze. Most plants survived. For the first time in 9 years the is Texas wildflowers are coming up the garden.

Out door decor got a fresh coat of paint.

New lighting added to the back yard and back of the garage.

An old bike found a new home.

We found an old headboard and dresser back in the attic and gave them new life and hung them in the Fitzgerald Room.

The Sunrise in all its Southern Charm and Beach Vibe is ready for your stay.

Heat your home up safely. Be mindful of sources of Carbon Monoxide.

Don’t kill yourself to keep warm.

Be smart about how you heat.

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning risks spike in winter due to increased use of furnaces, generators, and fireplaces, combined with poor ventilation. As a colorless, odorless, and tasteless "silent killer," CO is responsible for many, often fatal, poisoning incidents. Key precautions include keeping vents clear of snow, installing detectors, and never running generators/vehicles in enclosed spaces.

To keep your home and family safe this winter, following these safety guidelines:

*Have furnaces and chimneys cleaned and inspected annually.
*Clear snow away from outside dryer and heating vents.
*Always place generators at least 20 feet away from the house, never in a garage or basement.
*Never idle a car in a closed garage.
*Install, test, and replace batteries in CO detectors for every floor of the home.
*Look for CO poisoning symptoms including headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion, sometimes mistaken for the flu.
*If a detector sounds or symptoms appear, leave the home immediately and then call 911.
