Quick Overview

I am still woefully behind but will attempt to bring us up to date. While visiting the family last month to commemorate Nana’s passing last year, I went on a cruise:

Opening salvo in the annual battle, my liver vs. Jan’s

After the weekend of 16/17 July, I left early on Tuesday morning, accompanied by my sisters Jill and Dawn. We stopped in Las Vegas at the Boxabl factory. Jill was very interested in putting a Boxabl Casita on the land in Wyoming. Unfortunately, the Boxabl company is probably a year away from actually producing them. As an alternative Jill is exploring having Arland (AT) build a custom 20’x24′ – more info to follow.

We spent the night in Provo, UT, went to a great Mexican Restaurant called El Gallo Giro. Great authentic food, with terrific prices.

The next day we drove into Caspar and rescued the cat and showed Dawn & Jill the property. They also got a whirlwind tour of Casper and a sense of why I like the place.

Work on the house continues:

Spray Foam Insulation
More Insulation installed.

Also started plumbing up the Reverse Osmosis System. It will take well water with about 5000 TDI (Total Dissolved Solid) (basically undrinkable) and get it down to well under 500 TDI.

Putting in well water to RO system

Work continues inside:

Master bathroom shower.

I added a set of glass blocks (actually acrylic blocks) to the shower in the Master Bedroom.

Half roofed

Also, the roofers started in the middle of the week. This shows half of the roof covered. As of this afternoon the entire roof is covered and next week they will work on soffits and trim work, to finish the roof.

Finally, while filling up with gas last week, I saw a 1957 Chevy Bel-Aire getting gas at an adjacent pump.

57 Chevy Bel-Aire sedan

Probably only Sis remembers (and maybe Jill), but we drove across the country (in 1959) in a 1957 Chevy station wagon (with the same color scheme). In 1963 it was a just a used car that Dad traded in for a blue 1963 station wagon that Nana felt was a mistake.

The Chevy drives off.

That’s all for now.
