Nickel Farm

Spent a few hours during this period measuring and computing distances and plotting elevations as I prepared a topographic map of the site for future grading plans.

I was up at 6:00 am shooting elevations with my laser level.  The rest of the day was spent cleaning up site debris, moving large stones, and supervising a neighbor man in mowing the front yard.  Returned home later in the day

On this date, I transported the two stoves back to Nickel Farm on my tiny utility trailer.  Must have looked like the Beverly Hillbillies moving to town (yes, there is even an old concrete pond at Nickel Farm).  The stoves were beastly and, luckily, a charitable neighbor came to my rescue with his heavy-duty dolly when I unloaded them

Becky had learned from the previous owners of the property that they were interested in selling their four water shares as well as the wood-burning cook stove and double convection oven they had removed from the house prior to vacating it.  Today, I purchased all of the above for $10,000, $750, and $250 respectively.  Paid $25 to the irrigation company to transfer the water shares into my name.

Traveled to Nickel Farm and measured land features.  Returned home same day.
