Carmel, Monterey & Big Sur-Sunny Days-Part 1
Before our world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 Pandemic a friend, Rachel, and I took off for a few days road trip to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur and Moss Landing, California. Our husband’s decided to go skiing at Mammoth Mountain so we decided on a road trip. We didn’t have any idea that […]

Fall is in the air…
Yes, I know this isn’t the next post about the Galapagos. This is a detour post to share the joys of fall. I will get back to finish the Galapagos posts as soon as I have time to get thru the pictures and sit at my computer. In Truckee, the cold nights have brought out […]

21. Redwood trim, stain and patience!
So far, most of 2014 at Truckee can be summed up with woodworking, trimming, staining and finish work! Bob has finished the flooring on the 2nd floor and 1st floor and is just short one box of flooring for the 3rd floor loft. As you know we put in tile in the entry ways and […]

20. I’m back, thanks for your patience!
Lots has happened since my last post. Needless to say for those of you that know us personally, December thru March were very involved with family matters and posting on the blog was the last thing on my mind. Now, back to the house! I last posted when the floor had just been put in […]

19. Primer, paint, finish work and patience!
We haven’t run off to Timbuktu, it is just that progress is slower and we do not have as many interesting pictures to post. But fear not, Bob continues to work everyday to get this house finished! I was able to be in Truckee on November 2nd and 3rd. It was so nice to see […]

18. Kitchen cabinets & more…
I don’t think Bob liked my title of ‘Snail’s Pace’ for the last post and he is doing everything he can to be sure the house is completed as soon as possible. Can anyone say, ‘ski season is coming’ and you know he doesn’t want to be tied to the house! Major accomplishments during the […]

17. Slowing to a snail’s pace…
Well, now it’s just Bob working away at Truckee. Larry and Elder have moved on to new jobs for the winter. I am staying in Hayward to take care of my parents. So Bob is working to progress things but tells me it will be much slower from now on. That’s OK-we have already accomplished […]

16. New deck started outside, drywall inside & finally a roof…
Bob removed the old deck by Friday evening, 9/20. Looks so open without the deck! The following week (9/23 – 9/27), Larry and Elder came back to help Bob with the supports and main framework of the deck. The support beams were about 400 pounds so they rented a machine called a ‘super lift’ to […]

15. Stucco finished and wood exterior finished (almost)…
I’ve been in Hayward since September 9th taking care of things at my parents. Bob has been holding down the fort and working away. He has completed all the insulation and passed the insulation inspection. He has been working long days and into the evenings. On September 14th he sent me a picture of the […]
