When we moved to the outskirts of Tucson just about a year ago, we bought a 4 acre parcel with a manufactured home on the property. The first major project was to build a large garage/shop, that would be big enough to hold all of our stuff, and give me some room to do what DIY guys do. My first plan was to build it big enough for the motor home, but that quickly got shot down by the county, who had a height, and square footage restriction. When the shell was finished, I insulated, and sheet rocked all 160 feet of the 11' interior walls, & built a 10'x12' storage room in one of the corners. By the time this was all done, the summer was upon us, and we left for our trip to Alaska.
These pictures show where we parked the motor home last winter, adjacent to the north end of the house, where there is a 50amp electrical connection, and water. This is where I've decided to build an RV shade cover that will protect the little house from the unforgiving Arizona sun. As of right now, it will be 18' wide, 46' long, and a little over 15 feet tall at the peak. I'm in the process of getting quotes, and will make a decision in the next few days.
The latest prognosis for our little kitty is not good, and it's a day to day thing. We're both trying to prepare for the inevitable, a time that comes for all pet owners, sooner or later. Unfortunately, for Gracie, at just a little over 5 years old, it appears that her time will come sooner, rather than later.
It's just so hard when they become part of the family. I'm sure she's happy you guys have given her the best of everything. She couldn't have asked for a better life!
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to the both of you. we had our girlie kitty for 13 years, and you know that it is part of life, but doesn't mean you have to like it, or that you will ever forget her.
