Hello All! Another update from this past weekend. Since Sheralee was in the ‘big city’ last weekend, this was my first trip up to our property. This past week we started having some acreage cleared for our future farm animals. It is very very exciting to see the transformation. Let me post a couple pictures,…

New Floors Part II (9/30/2016)
Hello All. Not a lengthy blog post this week. We did get some good stuff done, but yours truly wasn’t ‘johnny on the spot’ with the camera, so I will have to tell you about the happenings instead. Made it up Friday after work, arriving just after sunset. The stars were amazing, especially with a…
Loft De-Construction (6/17/2016)
We were up last weekend and had a couple tasks that we wanted to work on. They were simple things that we wanted to do, but ended up doing more and more. ha. We wanted to work on our firepit, I have this idea of shallowing it out and securing the rock walls with cement. …
Two Weeks Of Updates (6/3/2016)
It has been a little while since I have updated. Basically two week(ends) of trips to account for. Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend, a nice 3 day weekend. We had a great visitor for the weekend, my daughter Katherine came up from Phoenix to hang at Rebel Ranch and check out all the things…
New Solar and Misc. Projects (3/2/2016)
Since I was off the first half of the week last week, I decided to head to the ranch on Wednesday last week. I could work remotely Thursday and Friday, and then get some stuff done after work and on the weekend. Upon arriving Wednesday I found that indeed the batteries were not being charged…
Wood Floors Part II (2/20/16)
We made it back up to the ranch early Saturday morning, a beautiful day once again. First thing, of course, I check on is the solar…wha wha wha…and it is bad once again. Found a bad connection on the DC input of the charge controller…where I had melted wires/inputs on former charge controllers. Same thing…

Hello All! A new year is upon us, and there are big things planned of this year, but we won’t really move to quickly for a few months in order to gather up our new plans and resources. Until then, we go up and enjoy our time there, working on small things that we need.…
Wood Stove Part Deux (12/05/2015)
After a long holiday break, and reworking our entire layout….based around some issues with our first wood stove install, we headed back to the property to remedy our issues and start anew. Our first stove install did not quite go as planned, well it did, but our plan was flawed. In our container there was…
Entry Light & Inside Framing (11/8/2015)
Sheralee and I headed up early early Saturday morning to the property. We knew there had been snow earlier in the week, but pretty much all gone, except some white in the shadows of trees. Very cool, but kinda chilly during the day.. Our first goal was to finish our entry way lighting. We came…
Loft Electricity [done] (10/30/2015)
Headed up early Saturday morning, after a great breakfast in Boulder City. We got there, and first thing we noticed was our newly planted trees were all leave-less. Upon further investigation we noticed a lot of deer poop and plenty of hoof prints, the buffet had been open for a week. Good thing though, they…
