I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

New Driveway and Pump House Start

We poured the driveway in three sections. It has taken over a week due to the weather. We have to cover it every night as the temperature has been about 16-18 degrees each morning.


Adam goes over and over it to make sure he gets all the moisture out. Concrete is a pain in the neck and a very persnickety material.


We have had lovely sunny days (40s and 50s but in the sun it feels like 60s and 70s) which helps with the drying process. We won't be able to park in the garage for another week. Getting the garbage can to the street is going to be interesting tomorrow morning. It has also been a challenge keeping Cooper and Ta off of the new cement.


We are working on the pump house. You can see the water tank (green) in back of the framing.
They sent the wrong siding so we had to send it back and are waiting for a new shipment. I love the steps down to the pump house......better than having to climb over the rocks and maybe twist an ankle.


We went to a Well Workshop yesterday and learned about the geology in our area and the various tests we will need to do to make sure our water quality is good.
