Named after my first frequent visitors, I finally found a place to call home for the foreseeable future. Not quite where I wanted to but the housing market was too out of control for me.
Sadly I'm stuck in CA, I am however in the mountains away from most of it. Some of my guns just won't be leaving the safe. At this point I'm just thankful I can get the rest of my stuff from AZ (including my Cherokee) and live with a place to call home.

 

 

 

I already got a little garden going.

 

Also got the internet working fairly well with a ghetto starlink setup. The tree's cause a lot of outages.

 

 

Projects:

Garage: The garage floor is densely packed gravel. I'd like to dig it out and cement it. If anyone has an idea on what the best way to do that is please let me know. I'd rather not rent a bobcat if there's a cheaper machine that can help. There is a cement footing around the walls of the garage but not the door. I was thinking I shouldn't pour over the hard packed soil since it's already above the footing. I've done some googling but this looks like it's going to take a bit of research. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Shed:

The Shed is sagging on the sides, one side looks like it's over 2 inches lower and one maybe an inch. Either way it's going to make my 3d printer lean. There are a bunch of cement footing blocks left here I'm hoping I can jack it up and put them in.  Oh Also I need a door.

Yeah I agree, I'm not meant for city life.

 

I spent most the weekend cleaning rat poop out of the shed. There used to be a doomsday supply of food in there that was perfect for rats, not so much for doomsday.

 

Got some digging done in the Garage. I think I'll do 4'x4' or 4x6 sections at a time to save my back.  I'm going to float the slab inside the footing.

 

From what I've learned I just gravel it, put vapor barrier down and pour 4" of cement.
