G&D's Big Project

Recommended Posts

George and I haven't been wheeling much at all this season, because we've been super-busy with another big project. Some of our friends know, but it's going to be news to others, that we're moving to Mohave county! It took us a long time to finally settle on a location, and after not being able to find a house that we wanted, we bought some land and we are building one.

 

We settled on a spot about 15 miles northeast of Kingman in a neighborhood called Valle Vista. It totally reminds us of Fountain Hills back in the day; there's a gas station, a few restaurants, a Dollar General and a golf course. We're pretty much building a replica of the house and garage building that we have now on a slightly larger lot.

 

This is going to be the view out my kitchen window:

This is also out the back, looking toward Kingman:

This is looking out the front:

We will be exploring a lot more in the northern sections of the state, not to mention Death Valley, Mojave Road, Lake Mead, and such, and leading some adventures there too. We're looking forward to unexplored territory!

 

More...

We already sold our house in Fountain Hills, and are really lucky that the new owner is leasing it back to us until our new house is done.  We've already hired a builder, got the permits, and the foundation is going in.  The date of completion should be sometime in June or July - the perfect time of year to move! 🤣🤣 But at least it should be just in time to experience our first Kingman summer about 10 degrees cooler on average.

No, we missed the boat on that one. But even if we had been there early enough, I'm sure G would have said NO to that idea. There are some initials and dates on the floor of the back garage at this house and he hates them. I had thought of doing a time capsule at least but didn't get my stuff together to get it done.
