It’s Cold Outside

While our afternoons have been relatively bright and tolerable, it’s cold outside in the morning.

Ever so evident this am with slippery walks, driveways, and roads.

Nothing like working inside when it’s cold outside!

Hey Turkey

It’s Thanksgiving.

The holiday most people associate with turkey.

Whether it’s real turkey, a tofu turkey, the John Madden made famous Turducken (a turkey stuffed with a duck which itself is stuffed with a chicken,) a Turkey-Trot, or you have family that behave like turkeys.

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.

People Business

Tahoe Fence is a fence and gate contractor that does both installations and material sales.

Which means we’re in the people business. Because people are our business.

We were sadly reminded of this the past week. Our friend, neighbor, and an occasional customer passed away.

Tahoe builds fences. But more importantly to us, we build relationships.

You will be missed, Bob.

Thank You

This weekend we celebrate Veterans Day.

We honor and thank our veterans and the active-duty members of our military.

If you have the opportunity to attend, check out the Virginia City Veterans Day Parade this weekend.

You’ll get to see the CHS NJROTC cadets. Their Raider Team had a strong showing at the JROTC National Raider Challenge this past week at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

They were able to bring home trophies for several of their outstanding performances.

Still Looking Good

Tahoe’s crews had to relocate an existing steel post and attached stone/masonry column we originally worked on 20 + years ago.

In addition, we had to remake part of the scalloped-top drive gate to fit the new opening.

Still looking good even with all the years.

Halloween Is Nevada Day

If you’ve been around these parts long enough, you know Halloween is Nevada Day. Both are on October 31st.

When we were young, Nevada Day and the parade were celebrated on the 31st in Carson City. You could go trick or treating around Carson the night before. Then go to the parade the next day, with your candy to snack on.

And if you and the parents were up to it, go trick or treating again in the areas surrounding Carson City on Halloween night.

Although it’s done a little bit differently now, we still get into the Spirit of Halloween and show our Nevada Spirit this holiday weekend.

Since the weather started to turn cold, Tahoe again is offering free firewood from our fence scraps. It’s to help those out that need it.

We have bins/cages outside our yard to collect wood from. It’s on a 1st come basis. However, we will fill or change out the bins as needed, and as long as we have wood scraps. We just ask that you clean up the area after collecting your firewood and please leave our wood bins/cages.

Enjoy your Nevada Day Weekend, the parade, and Halloween.

Stepping It Up

It’s getting late in the building season.

Tahoe’s crews are stepping it up working on getting to all our customers before the cold, wet weather sets in.

Fall Colors

It’s mid-October and the leaves are changing around the area. Creating beautiful Fall colors.

Tahoe seems to be getting into a similar groove with several tall fence enclosures we’ve been working on. We’re creating our own palette of Fall colors in chain link.

Go Big

That time of year when the bears are going big before Winter hits.

Likewise, Tahoe’s gates are going big as well.

Tahoe is installing several large opening, overhead-track cantilever slide gates in Fernley (Lyon County.) Like this 40-foot, double-track gate.

Our crews just replaced a 31-foot, double-swing gate out there also.

And Tahoe recently completed this install of a 50-foot, double cantilever gate setup in Mound House (Lyon County.)

We go big for our customers.
