Caulkenstein Jr. has been officially born. For the past couple of days we've been using the campground showers because the tub is leaking. Jim reshimmed and recaulked the tub leak. Yeah, I think the tub will need to be replaced by the end of our RVing trip. Hopefully we can use our own shower tomorrow. My experience with the campground shower wasn't all that great. There's 2 restroom/shower combinations. The shower was as small and possibly smaller than our shower. The pressure seemed OK. Eventually someone used the other shower or something because my water temperature flucuated. Sometimes it went off the charts. Scauld me with hot water but then decide the best way to treat a burn is with COLD water. Ugh. All on it's own. Great.
We caught up with Gregg. Tim already had plans so we'll probably see him tomorrow. Gregg's house is beautiful. It's a 4 or 5 bedroom, and each has it's own bathroom. The master suite has a sitting area, and fireplace. The master was larger than some people's homes! The kitchen? 3 wall ovens (one is the Advantium). A HUGE Viking stove. There's more to the inside but I'll just skip to the exterior. An edgeless pool, with hottub and a dual waterfall. Peaceful. With the pretty landscaping, I felt like I was at a resort. The back patio also has water misters built into the house. In the other corner of the yard was a ramada (gazebo) complete with outdoor kitchen. That's where we ate dinner. Awesomeness. I took photos.... but of course.
Gregg has 2 roommates... a couple Tony and Levi. They are originally from Oregon. Tony has lived a short time in Hawaii. Tony and Levi are very young. The geographical conquests, career differences and age differences all made for great conversation. Gregg has 2 older dogs, Tony and Levi have 2 chihuahuas, so tomorrow we'll bring Dasher along for another day of fun in the sun. Cheers to being lazy........ {clink}
Wow! What a place! Are houses less expensive than say Florida or the northeast or more expensive?
ReplyDeletethe pictures are fantastic!
I hope you get your bathtub fixed for good soon!
Holy cow. Gorgeous photos! You are living large my friend. But why no photos of the kitch? That's where I would live, if I could.
ReplyDeleteMy next house is going to be a huge kitchen with all the bells, whistles: gas Viking cooktop, SubZero fridge, Bosch dishwashers, and wine coolers everywhere. Oh yeah, and maybe a bedroom and a bath as an afterthought.
@Joanie: We haven't been pricing out homes yet but that's on the list of things for us to do. Arizona is a state we've liked thus far.
ReplyDelete@Alix: I'll try to remember to get the photos. {wink}
