Since the summer temperatures tend to be three digits here in Yuma, we were advised to insulate our shed.

Welcome Banner Updated
We really appreciated the welcome we received from the CVR homeowners with their own form of “Welcome Wagon”. How cool it is that they present each homeowner with a handmade welcome banner.
