Tool Shed III (8/25/2016)

Another weekend at the ranch, but unfortunately, we had some weather events that hampered our progress on the new shed. I went up early Friday morning, taking a long weekend due to Sheralee having Friday and Saturday off.  I arrived with the intention of installing the two windows and house wrapping the shed.  I got…

Tool Shed II (8/19/2016)

Another productive weekend at the ranch.  We had some more weekend guests, great to see such interesting in checking things out, checking out exactly what it is Sheralee and I do each weekend! ha.  Ainslee and her friend Mario joined us, as they were down from Portland for a long weekend.  It was great having…

Tool Shed Beginnings (8/12/2016)

Sheralee and I were at the property again this past week.  We were up the weekend of the 5th, but Sheralee met me there after detouring in Phoenix with Baylee.  Unfortunately, we had some water/leaking issues to deal with over that weekend.  When we removed the loft we basically removed our roof from the add-on…

Loft Be-Gone (7/29/2016)

We made it up again this past weekend after a two week ‘moving’ hiatus.  Whew, glad to be done moving and able to visit our ranch once again.  We arrived Friday evening, right after sunset.  Not much we can do in the dark but enjoy the peace and quiet our property brings.  The sky was…

New and Rebuilt (7/1/2016)

Happy July!  It is here, whether you like it or not, and with July comes monsoon season in the Southwest.  As you will see later on…it did come down Saturday afternoon. Glove retirement!  Yes, finally it was to put my faithful leather gloves to rest.  There is only so much duct tape can do. Water…

Weekend of Doors (6/24/2016)

It was truly a weekend of doors.  Over the past weekend, we moved two doors, and completely re-did our bathroom ‘barn’ style door.  All three turned out better than we could have hoped. Saturday morning we got up and got to work right away.  My job was to remove the front door we have been…

Insulation and Driveway (6/11/2016)

We headed up Friday after work, arriving roughly around 8pm.  Just enough time to unpack and start a nice fire for the evening. Friday night was crazy, weather wise.  When we sat by the fire, there was some massive lighting East near Flagstaff.  Well, that crazy lightening/thunderstorm finally made it our way during the night. …
