We have been living on the Eagle View lot now for about 3 weeks and we had our first overnight visitors in Ed and Sandy. They stopped by on their National Park tour. Their next stop is Yellowstone NP.
Ed & Sandy parked out front and used the electric and sewer hook ups. The water hydrant was handy for a quick motor-coach washing.
Another first at Eagle View; we smoked a rack of pork loin ribs as the first test.
Steve loads the first slab into the smoker.
Everything is set, temperature probes reading the internal status of the cooker and meat temperatures.
Time to eat! By the looks of the tool box table, drinking has already started...
The SilverStar communications guys visited last week They pulled in 400 ft of fiber optic cable from the street to our Shop. The weed control guy never showed up....
The SIlverStar crew installed a termination box on the side of the Shop. The fiber was as thin as a human hair!
Will installed the end equipment. We put the electronics above the door on a shelf for now. The devices consist of a fiber modem to Ethernet converter they call the ONT, a router and a small UPS power supply.
The Insulation crew came the day Ed & Sandy departed. You can still see Ed & Sandy's rig through the open garage doors the morning of the install. We moved everything we could out of the Shop for ease of insulation installation. We piled everything behind the Shop.
The insulation crew came and went right to work. Two guys started on the ceiling at the back of the Shop and the third guy Sergio was the crew lead and he went to work on the walls.
All the batting just about finished by mid day.
Now the 6-mil plastic vapor barrier goes up. Gari inspects the progress from inside the Shop, wearing her respirator of course! Surprisingly enough the crew completed the insulation install in a single, although a very long day. It would have taken us a month to accomplish this by ourselves. Gari was the voice of reason that said we should hire the insulation out. Thank you Gari!
