I put 10k in the front yard so far.....removed the palm, and bushes, removed the concrete and put pavers had the yard leveled and put colored rock...not sure what we are gonna do,... wife wants to sell the nelson house, (owner carry) and just keep the mobile.... I want to get rid of it all..this will be the last construction job I will ever do before I die...might sell this place, owner carry, or rent it out... I've been going back and forth to havasu from vegas for 50 yrs... I hate the drive, 200 mile seems like for ever... I have a new (was new) pontoon.... used it once last year... pretty sure I'm lake blind. as lake view means nothing to me any more...

this place has a 40x 12, or so garage on one side with car port that will fit a suburban. and 63x 12 boat storage on the other....it'll be a nice place when done, and cheep to own... it's on septic so cheep water and sewer bills, and cheep taxes...
I thought you just bought your UTV getaway project property to keep you busy in your "Spare" time ?

When you figure it out, let me know. After spending some time down there, Cimarron is not for me. We will be selling that and looking to find something in Havasu.

I’d be more interested in the mobile to be honest. I don’t need all the glitz and glamor of the big house.

Would the city allow the garage on the right to finish being enclosed, then put a roll up door on it so it’s secure?

gotta finish it first.// might rent, sell, or sell the other 2 places in havasu and keep it..I'd do an owner carry on the 2 house compound... and just have the mobile for when we go to havasu.. or sell the mobile owner carry.. the mobile will have all new plumbing,ac, doors floors, cabinets . drywall painted walls..

moved the iron gate to that side,... so you can now lock that side up secure,..there is also a garage on the other side that is walled in with double barn doors


also this is county. no sewer/water bill... just water so it's cheep./// in the county you can have metal buildings... would be cheep and easy to take the patio cover down and put up a metal rv garage..

Steve I wish I had half the energy you have, this is proof that a person should continue with projects and stay busy to stay alive vs getting older and sitting on your ass watching tv....

So true! My brother is 72 and still has projects and works everyday. I told him, he better not quit or he may wake up horizontally 😂

Everything is looking great! Congrats.

Where do you get the metal yard art? The cactus, etc. I really like them.

I've been staying there and have pretty much emptied out the big rv garage house.... so it's official,.. were selling it and keeping the mobile for our havasu get away place... real comfortable and easy living.... only draw back is I have to sell my pontoon cause it won't go under the roof,... but the 210 hallett will so i'm gonna bring it from vegas... boat side storage is 12' x 50' + , but only 8' high

I drove over and looked at this yesterday before I left town. Looked at the Nelson compound as well. I am pretty sure you should just sell me one of them. 😀

What ever happened with this mobile on Williams? Sell or rent it. I really like the area north of Kenneth on William. Nice job on the remodel.

I drove by Joyce and it looks like nothing is happening there. Still in limbo?
