FC Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Rough trip. I hit debris from a wreck and bent one trailer axle. That caused 3 tires to blow, over time. https://youtu.be/7oeTnZ6fDZQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 The third blowout, in Texas was funny. I turned the crossbar wrench, and heard a terrible squeal. “That sounded like a donkey!” Yup, right behind me 5 donkeys showed up for the show! Despite my wife’s vehement objections, I fed them pound cake and chewy granola bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 You've made tremendous progress on that place. Looks really good. Bummer on the trailer problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted December 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Thank you. Once I retire I can spend at least three weeks at a time down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 If you're heading down there, stop on by NW Arkansas and visit. Once you're retired, "they say" you'll have lots of extra time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Just curious, does it have a basement? A custom home builder I used to deliver his mail in the early 90’s. Was in what was rural but the city grew around. Still had dirt roads, cattle and horses in the area. He picked up where the previous horse rancher had left. It started out as two Japanese internment camp buildings. The new guy built a large two story house behind but still attached to the camp buildings. He told me it was a never ending job and he will likely be building and improving until he’s to old or dead. His trophy and I do mean trophy wife once gave me a quickie tour of the camp buildings. The front was fixed up into living quarters but the one in the rear was just for storage of building materials. The addition when I saw it was framed, wired and partially plumbed. I never saw it, the wife said there were once remnants of a guard tower the previous guy just let it go to waste. I heard from the mailman that replaced me most of the construction in the area had stopped. The city would not issue new building permits until the property owners paid out thousands to get hooked up into the city sewer lines.

FC Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 No basement, but it had a brick baptismal under the stage beneath two trap doors. It had one faucet. It was so rusted the pipe broke off when I took hold of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
