Very lucky to find this house over 20 years ago. At the time a good friend told me we would pay a premium for the view but get tired of it after 6 months.
Not so much. :cool:

We both needed a drink. You can see about 15% of what I mow. There is 3 more acres on the other side of the creek. I mow the field area over there and between the trees with my bush hog.

AZ house = Zero mowing!! They do mow the golf course daily for me though.

Finally got off my arse and got the last string up! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/01/y4e7yhug.jpg

Jeff, if you need any help figuring where to buy stuff or how to do it let me know. I'm happy to help.

Sidney,
The lights look great!
Thanks for the offer! The back yard is in a holding pattern until I get a couple other projects done. Right now in the middle of refinishing our kitchen cabinets. Changing from Spiced Maple to Gloss White. Going for the tropical cabana look with the Kitchen, Family room, Back yard combo...

Sorry about the sideways photo. Not sure how to fix it.

Not the best view - but gives you an idea. This was taken this past Sunday (Jun 29,2014) just after we had a good several hours of rain. You can make out the corner of the garden in the upper left with the extended height fencing to keep the visitors out. The house roof visible in the corner is our nearest neighbor.

Not my summer backyard, but what I wake up to each morning during the winter months ..

Looks good Jeff! I like it! Our kitchen is coming up on the list, just need to repaint the walls, freshen up the cabinets, and new countertops... Oh and new tile on the floor! :eek:

That looks like the ski hill at Tahoe Donner, our place is directly across the valley, looking right at that hill.

Bingo, Spud. Those are the season's first tracks, to our door (although such a terrible season they didn't even open).
