Default Slow Going!

Wow, things do move slow down here in Apache Junction! Four months just to get to this point.

24' X 30', with Powder Room, Mountain view through 4' X 8' picture window where my bench will be. 12' ceilings for my Backyard Buddy Ext7000.

Going to be hard to get things done on the bench when you have that for a view out the window.

You in the Gold Canyon area?

Trying to orient myself to the mountain from your picture.

I have a 1 acre lot a little further north near the base of the mountain i need to get busy and sell, was going to build on it, but decided to move a little farther north to someplace with more water.

This pic is taken from Superstition Blvd about 1,800 feet from the foot of the mountain on the west slope.

The old mining camp is about 5 minutes to the NE of me, I can hear the train whistle. My camera shot is shooting east.
