Building a store front

We’ve taken today off from the stage build and started on the Plateau Hame De Colquhoun store front. The store front was created from an old shipping box, that we reinforced, and redoing to fit our needs.  It’s small but will work for displaying items, and running registration out of. In the first 3 images are of the box is laying on its side, last image is it standing up.. We are hoping to finish the store tomorrow and get it set up and staked down. Then the next step will be painting it and getting the inside finished.

Day 2 Stage Build at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun

Today we start day 2 of the stage build. The new stage is staying with our theme Modern Pioneerism meaning using modern recycled materials to build or achieve our goal. As many know we have a high power powerline that runs by our property. Last month the power company replaced a bunch of the poles. We allowed the workers to use our driveway, park their equipment by our place. In trade for 15 poles and plugs. Neighbors took the poles, we got the plugs.

We are using the plugs to build the stage (plugs are the part of the pole that was buried in the ground. Each pole is around 600 lbs and we are using 10 poles (that we are moving in place by hand).

Today we work on finishing placing the poles, leveling. The new stage will be the same size as the old 16×16 with a riser. Height was about 1 foot, new stage about 3 foot. We will still be able to break the stage down to setup a smaller stage like in the photo.

I will post more photos, videos of the work.

Dreugan is the vocal dog that lives at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun.

Dreugan, Weillow and Amigo all live with us here at Plateau Hame De Colquhoun. Dreugan is a 100 lb 2 year old Huskweiler that lives to talk. Amigo is our 6 month old Lab mix, he’s our thief he loves to steal socks and keeps stealing Dreugan’s toys and hiding them.

Dreugan has to stay tied while outside not because he takes off (though sometimes he scares campers) but because every time we allow him to run the yard he gets sick. We do let him off but we try to monitor him. He loves chasing lizards, yucca roots (we know yucca root isn’t the issue as him and Amigo’s favorite toy is a yucca root), we are thinking the issue is the lizards. He does have allergies so could be many things, but when he stays tied he doesn’t get sick as often. Plus he is very vocal (husky side) his looks and size tend to intimidate people.

Maintenance, new projects, desert camping

The first day of low winds in a while means getting a few maintenance projects done. Weeding, much needed cleaning up the hut (which will last until the next wind, sand storm).

We came up with the idea of putting a few pipes around the fire-pit ring, each pipe has holes drilled into them. The hope is that when it gets windy the pipes will make some whistling sounds.
(It’s an honor thing to the winds…😉 )

Surprisingly we have a few campers booked this weekend. We figured with it being Easter weekend we wouldn’t have any bookings. But so far it’s been one of our busiest weekends.
