Washoe Lake Wetlands Trail
















On the south end of Washoe Lake are some pretty new wetlands that have been created using a series of dikes and little locks to control water movement. The dikes form a trail network that zigzags all over the wetlands area. Lots and lots of wildlife running around down in these areas. One of the better hiking areas we've gone to lately as far as scenery and critters to look at. You have to go when there is a wind though in order to avoid the bugs. Either that or wear a lot of bug repellent. Great place to go though. Just park at the southend about a 1/2 mile east of the East Lake exit above Carson City. Look for the wooden deck stuck out in the swamps.

More House - It's Landscaped

















Well, checked out the house again. They've got the front and side of the house fully landscaped now. Looks pretty good. They have some sort of problem along the back retaining wall where they tore the dirt back out, but otherwise the place is coming along fine. They skim coated and redid all the texturing throughout the entire house. The interior was fully repainted and looks much better. The tile is 99% done but the poor stove is covered in junk.

Ahh, Gov Buildings


They always look like something out of the X-Files at night. I must add though, boring!

Washoe Lake






Latest House Pics









Well, the house is still coming along fine. We took a couple hours to go by the home and Washoe Lake before going back to the office. The computers were down until noon, so all worked out I guess (of course I'm still sitting here looking at midnight as my time to go home. :(!) They are getting ready to do the lot work and have started getting all the tile and cabinets in place. They managed to split a cabinet door down one side and damaged some cabinets and a window. I'm hoping they'll fix everything before we bring it up. Now, if we could just sell the one we're living in right now. . .
