It comes out half-way between the Casino and the Landfill. I usually drive down it from Sunset checking for radar and obstructions..... make a U on Fiddyment - come to a stop and then hammer it. Today there was an older couple in a pick-up coming from the Casino who turned on it right behind me when I made the U. I would have paid to see the expressions on their faces when I launced
    I know where it is, not much room for error, be carefull

    Scott,

    Good to hear from you. I have to admit, I am very fortunate. God knows I tried my darmndest to screw my life up when I was much younger - just dumb luck that things worked out the way they did.

    Set a record here today, 70 deg and 20 Cobras for a January lunch (I wish I could share some of this weather you and others).

    Yes Ralph, for now at least.

    Finally back to making headway... now that the bumbler, I mean plumber, is out of the picture! I knew I should have gotten a vacation for Tony down here! Drywall is pretty much done.

    Getting ready to run trim, prime walls, and set doors and sub-floor over the concrete (for wood) and then get the mechanical guys back in for the trim-out. Maybe we'll be in within a few months, but only if we !

    Tony, remember that little black utillity trailer we were towing when we came through? There really isn't that much room in there, and as much as you might think that we were staying in there... we haven't.

    We spent much of the first year and a half bouncing around. We spent 8-months in a little RV we fortunately have. Next, we've been in the FEMA/MEMA units and with relatives. Hopefully the cottage will be done really soon, and then we'll start the house. It has been a real trial, but... heaven knows it could have been much much worse.

    Just think of all the money you have saved on utilities.

    You should change your forum name too Gypsy.

    No, because the walls on them are so thin that it rains inside when the temp drops below... say 35 degrees or so... condensate forms on the ceiling and walls/windows and drips. Takes more to heat and cool it...

    Paul, glad to hear that your still moving forward, sorry to hear that it's taking so long. Is your area still short of skilled workers? Or has the government bogged things down?

    How?
    I bet you will never go camping again.

    You might need a lawyer to change your name.

    Both the feds and the state have been great!
