ocoa Beach Refresh, Renew, Restore is a series of articles which feature buildings and places around Cocoa Beach that are reinventing themselves in different ways to add to the character of this great little town. In return, these renovations are helping to keep our little slice of paradise the perfect place to live, work, and play. Last month, we introduced you to the first feature in this series. We spotlighted the new Downtown Parking Garage that is slated to be open in early summer. This month, we take you on a journey through the renourishment of the old Petro Plumbing building. We all remember the yellow Petro Plumbing building on the southbound side of A1A in Cocoa Beach. Petro Plumbing moved to Merritt Island and put this iconic building up for sale. When the forsale sign went up, Rick and Andrea Bastien started the ball rolling on their new labor of love! Rick was recently retired and looking for a project; boy did he find one! This was the couple’s first venture into any kind of remodeling or construction, but they had a vision and the dedication to see the job to completion.
