A little rain....

Hi ALL

Soooo…  we bought a house in Cave Creek cause:

1)  It’s a nice place

2) Liz wants strait hair.

Sooo  Lets see how the low humidity / strait hair is working out.

I wonder how wet the motorcycle officer got?

Liz will say it’s “Monsoon” season  - sure is!

A story….

Not aviation related - it's our backyard..

A long long time ago - in a far away place. Well our back yard last Wednesday.

The Bear and Liz Fun

Here are three pictures of the 100 Liz shot today of the "little bear". Yes, he walked all around the railing of the deck. Then went down to lay at the bottom of the stairs and took a nap!

Yep 35 miles to mid-town

He likes the railing and deck

He likes the new deck!!!

The New Truck

Hi All,

Here is a couple pictures of the new, well 2008 truck.

It's a XLT Super Duty Crew Cab - with the twin tubo 6.4L diesel  - Short bed - 58K miles

We drove it back from Cincinnati - it was great.  Towing the trailer to Oshkosh will be a piece of cake!!

The deck before and after pictures

Here are the before and after pictures of our new deck.  I really like the new railing - which Liz designed!!

The Deck Afternoon

The deck is done - now we have to setup everything again. Here is the view from this morning, But Rich showed up with 5 guys!!

The deck at 7AM

The deck at 5PM

Deck Not Finished

So it's Friday.  It has rained every day for a couple of weeks.  It is so foggy, wet and still drizzling. I doubt Rich and his team will finish today. Bummer for the long weekend.

Taking the Trees Down

So, this project started because we needed to rebuild the deck. Liz and I figured looking at some of the trees leaning towards the house and the deck that about 1 min. after the deck surface was rebuilt one of the trees would fall and destroy the deck.

We asked our contractor for recommendation for a tree guy, “yeah they got a pretty big truck”. A number of these trees were hundred feet tall and I wondered how they would get to the top to cut them down. They arrived at 8:30 in the morning and 8 very large trees and all of the men and the debris were gone by 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Here are some of the pictures from that day.

That tree was hollow!!!

Attach a HUGE crane and cut it off
