perhaps-unusual work-travel deduction situation - deductible?

[Pants]

I worked (salaried) on a construction project on an "outer island" for about a year.  My wife and I rented a house there for the duration, but I flew back to our permanent residence on another island about once a week to work on that house (when I was not needed at the jobsite).  Might that travel be deductible?

sorry - under the 2018 tax law, unreimbursed employee related travel expenses are not tax deductible  :( 

(and commuting expenses are not deductible either)
