I just returned from a couple days at the hideout to meet my buddies (and their two sons) to finish off the tiny house porch/deck. Thank you Josh and Joey! It looks amazing and I know will entertain for many years to come. A special thanks to David for setting the new footings that not only supported the deck, but will also “hold down the fort”.
I also took up a few experimental Agave species that I believe will do very well with this climate. I have been studying farming them and consulted with Doug Richardson on which species to try and he will continue coaching for the next few years. Fun new hobby!

I went up last week to “finish” out the electrical on the tiny house, but got sidetracked with the pond after seeing that with this recent heat, it had dropped to half full since last visit a couple weeks ago.
​41’ trench from the water tank to the pond and I’ll never half to think about filling again!
