Another Trip

We will be flying into Las Vegas on my golden birthday

We rented this jeep

We'll drive to Pioche

(red is our house)

We'll stay here for a few days  

While we visit our house and maybe do a teensy bit of work on it. 

We NEED to experience a few days in Pioche during the winter, 

since we've had some summer days already.

I'd like to finalize plans on the layout too but who knows. Here are some of the plans I've found online:

So anyway, I was born in '62 and I'll be 62 in 62 days.

 

 

 

It was good to go see and work on the Pioche house September 16-27, 2024.

Lan did 99% of the work again.

Here is the front yard toward Toms house

within a half hour the fence was cut to make room to drive through.

We're going to put a 12 foot gate there eventually.

This wall/floor was rotten and theres NO 2x4s in this exterior wall.

Lan ended up tearing out a 10x10 section of floor, replaced all the rotten boards and put in new sub floor.

He used anchor screws to pull the exterior wall in to the new floor boards.

It looks like an easy job but it took him 3 days and 2 trips to St. George, Utah for boards and supplies.

This was 2-3 inches of space between foundation and wall.

Seet that metal fireplace chimney? 

Its gone now.

And THIS is the reason the kitchen and utility room floors are completely rotted out, 

the dryer vent was going directly under them.

We took a few side trips for a little fun.

On our way home we took a side road 20 miles off the highway to look for petrified wood and agates, maybe might have found a couple pieces but I liked being out in the middle of nowhere with silence; no highways, no cars, no other people.
