Miscellaneous Stuff



During the garage construction there were many asides, like planting trees.
Two thousand to be precise, mostly native species, Douglas Fir, Grand Fir, Ponderosa Pine and Incense Cedar. Broadleaf natives will be in the next phase

Why so many trees? Our kids inheritance, these will not mature in our lifetime, but wehope with this many board feet of lumber we can die poor and the kids can be creative and make a few bucks.




Geomyidae or more commonly Pocket Gopher. Bloody nuisance. We were very concerned that our trees would be destroyed, but for whatever reason the rodents are more interested in other subterranean fodder, perhaps we have the first species of carnivorous gophers! We are accepting all gopher extermination remedies beyond, traps, gas, fire, terrier dogs, poison and shot guns because we have already tried these to no avail.

Pretty elaborate but at least it is only one story
