Celebrating The Gridiron

It’s back, football season is back.

In honor of the gridiron, term referring to football played in North America, Tahoe has its own gridiron style fence. Like football fields up until the 1920s which had a checkerboard pattern (gridiron), this Tahoe Fence uses a gridiron style welded-rod utility panel. The panels are sandwiched between redwood framing and pressure treated posts.

It’s Hot and We’re Cool with That

It’s Hot and We’re Cool with That

This is our ’56 Chevy at Tahoe’s yard. Our dad had to have it because it was the make and model of car he learned to drive with.

Difficult to justify keeping around the fence yard, until you see our kids fall in love with it like our father.

No AC, but you have windows you can direct the airflow into the cabin. Just drive faster for more air. Plus, the car is a classic. As good a reason as any to wash it and make it shine.

And you can have someone post a selfie of you legally driving without seatbelts (it’s a classic and has lap-belts.)

Yeah, it’s hot and we’re cool with that.

Have a safe and fun time this August at all the area car shows.

“Adaptation”

Posted on by tahoefence

Tahoe’s word for today is “adaptation.”

With prices and availability for material continuing to be far out there, adaptation is key.

Tahoe has customers who are waiting for heavy (old Tahoe), grape stake cedar. The problem is we’ve been waiting months for a unit at a time. And the units are outrageously expensive.

The solution, adapt to the situation. Tahoe has reclaimed grape stakes. They’re what remain from previous projects and tear outs but are in excellent condition. 1st, Sort for height and condition. 2nd, Remove the nails without leaving hammer marks. 3rd, bundle units.

Did you get to see fireworks, or a drone display where you live for the 4th? Or like us, did the weather put a stop to it?
Doesn’t feel like the 4th of July without a celebration of red, white, and blue. Cowboy Fireworks will have to do!
Hoping you had a wonderful 4th and enjoy a happy, healthy Summer.

In A Pickle About What To Do This Summer?

The weather is heating up, so get outside and enjoy all the gifts our area has to offer. There’s beaches & lakes, river rafting, fishing, golfing, disk golf, trails to bike and hike.
 
And if you’re still in a pickle about what to do this Summer, try Pickleball. It’s one of the fastest growing sports. It was created in 1965 in the state of Washington. There are no dress code requirements. You play on a court about 1/4 the size of a tennis court. And the pickleball you use travels about 1/3 the speed of an average tennis ball.

Now it’s official. The first day of Summer. Students have been saying it’s Summertime since school got out. But today is the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice.
 
How are you going to spend it – at work, the beach, fishing? Maybe some golf or disk golf?
 
There’s lots to do. Good thing it’s the longest day of the year.

Beautiful At Any Age

Hard to believe that Old Glory’s design was approved on this date back in 1777 by the Second Continental Congress.

But then the Stars and Stripes looks beautiful at any age.

Even at 245 years old!
