September 29, we made it back to Yuma to our home-sweet-home base. Wow! It felt good to come “home”. We were very pleased with how little dust made it inside! Covering all the furniture may have been overkill since the blinds were all closed and there were the sunshade screens attached on the outside of… Continue reading Back Home from Summer Travels!

Carport Screens are Installed
Due to the delay in materials, the sun and wind screens for the carport were not completed before we left for the summer. However, Phil was happy to send us some pictures when he finished the job, as did Cheryl. We are quite happy with the results. Thank you, Yuma Screens! We LOVE the look… Continue reading Carport Screens are Installed
Isaac and Mona-2 weeks in Yuma!
On April 22, Justin drove Isaac and Mona over to Yuma to stay with us for TWO weeks! We were so excited to have this extended time with both of them in our new home at CVR. They were busy everyday. Our outdoor living space set up in the carport was great to have. It… Continue reading Isaac and Mona-2 weeks in Yuma!
Window Sunscreens Installed
Our order for all the windows and carport sunscreens got delayed for 3 weeks because Phil, of Yuma Screens, was not receiving any of the framing materials in his weekly orders. We had hoped to have them up for our last couple weeks in the house, but there was nothing anyone could do. The framing… Continue reading Window Sunscreens Installed
INSIDE Our New Home
The majority of our furniture arrived from Mor Furniture For Less on February 18, 2021. The couch and TV console with a fireplace didn’t arrive till March and April. Luckily those pieces were not critical for our daily living. They just kept our living room from feeling complete and being able to do this blog… Continue reading INSIDE Our New Home
Sunscreens Needed
Since we had the carport fan installed at the time of the electric wiring for the shed, we need to pursue installation of sunscreens along the carport to add protection during the summer. This will be in addition to sunscreens for most of the windows on the house, which will help keep the interior of… Continue reading Sunscreens Needed
Welcome to OUTSIDE Living!
We thought we would wait till next fall/winter of 2021, to purchase a patio conversation set, especially since we only have about 3 weeks left here, but the set we found and the very limited availability of it made us go for it now. I’ve been casually looking at outdoor furniture locally, and researching sets… Continue reading Welcome to OUTSIDE Living!
Insulating the Shed
Since the summer temperatures tend to be three digits here in Yuma, we were advised to insulate our shed. Without insulation the temperature inside the shed rises significantly enough to cause various materials to either become brittle or basically disintegrate. So this weekend we got started. Home Depot had insulation, but unfortunately, only the R-19… Continue reading Insulating the 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. While the colors of ours went well with the exterior house colors, the letters of the word “WELCOME” were not visible from any… Continue reading Welcome Banner Updated
Our New Manufactured Home – The Process
Barry and I were excited to be staying at CVR to become part of the community while we awaited the arrival of our house from the factory in Phoenix. We looked forward to the ability to document the various steps of the entire in-park build process via photos and drone footage. It is amazing how… Continue reading Our New Manufactured Home – The Process
