Retired pipe fitter Charles Long, 68, uses a borrowed mini excavator to put metal grating over a new septic field, as he converts his property in a pole barn for parking an RV, Saturday, May 11, 2024, in Horseshoe Beach, Fla. Before Hurricane Idalia smashed into the small fishing village in northwestern Florida last summer, Long was fixing up the family's two-bedroom, one-bathroom vacation house to retire in with his wife.
