Channeling The Boss

Posted on by tahoefence

Channeling The Boss It's Father's Day this weekend. Hopefully, you're still able to celebrate with your own pops. If not, maybe you have good memories that make you smile whenever you think of him. Tahoe's yard dog, Wally, was channeling our Old Man with the stare he gave while sitting in one of the office chairs at Tahoe's Mound House shop (Lyon County.) Can picture the Boss looking over the top of his glasses and saying, "Good you're 15 minutes early. . ." "Too bad that means you're 5-minutes late." Cheers to our dads that helped make us who we are. And may they be proud of who we've grown up to be. Happy Father's Day!Channeling The Boss

Bright Side

Posted on by tahoefence

Bright Side No doubt this week has been hot. Heat wave or not, it's almost too much for Spring. On the bright side, if your driveway has good sun exposure, it could be ideal for solar-powered entry gates. Like these automated, ornamental iron swing gates by Tahoe in Mound House (Lyon County.) The solar panel uses the sun's light to charge the batteries that operate the gates. Even at night, the gates work on the energy stored from the sun.Bright Side

Friday and Fabulous

Friday and Fabulous The weather is fantastic. And it's Friday. The end of another week. And the start of a well-earned weekend. Fabulous! Tahoe's crews have been putting in the hours of late. They've been working on projects like this custom fence at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline (Douglas County.) This fence at the 9th hole is built with composite posts and ornamental iron panels and rails.Friday and Fabulous

Happy Memorial Day

Posted on by tahoefence

Happy Memorial Day This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day, which originally started out as Decoration Day. It began as a way to remember and honor those that died fighting America’s Civil War. But people raised in the South will tell you there was nothing civil about brother fighting brother. Instead, they refer to it as the War Between the States. Memorial Day has become a day we remember and celebrate all our fallen American soldiers. However you spend your weekend, happy Memorial Day.

Off The Rails

Posted on by tahoefence

Off The Rails This weekend will be something with both the Kentucky Derby on Saturday and Cinco de Mayo on Sunday. The Kentucky Derby, the longest held continuous sports event in America, is celebrating its 150th running. While Cinco de Mayo, which marks the Mexican army's victory over the French at the Battle of Pueblo, has been celebrated since 1862. And historically Americans like celebrating both. About 120,000 mint juleps are expected to be served at Churchill Downs over the weekend, which takes around 10,000 bottles of bourbon to make. And in 2014, it's estimated more than 335,000 gallons of tequila and mezcal were consumed by Americans on May 5th. Whichever event you'll be enjoying, be safe, and keep your celebration from going off the rails. Pictured: Horizontal redwood rail fences built by Tahoe's crews in Genoa (Douglas County.)

I See Trees

Posted on by tahoefence

I See Trees Today's National Arbor Day. It's observed in most states as the last Friday in April (Alaska and Hawaii use different dates.) On the 1st Arbor Day in1872, it's estimated one million trees were planted. For many of us, our younger school years included planting trees for Arbor Day. Cedar and redwood, the majority of the type of lumber used by Tahoe, take about 50-years for the trees to reach the maturity required for harvesting. So it's completely conceivable to be building with material produced from the same trees we planted in our own lifetime. Both cedar and redwood are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council which promotes responsible harvesting. Because they're natural, resistant to pests, are biodegradable, and sustainable, cedar and redwood are environmentally friendly building options.

Waste Not

Posted on by tahoefence

Waste Not Even though we don't always think about it, Earth is the only home planet we know. Just like we appreciate a clean home without a lot of junk, we feel the same way about our planet. Waste not what can be reused. Tahoe turned some of its fence scraps into covered firewood racks. The firewood comes from Tahoe's wood fence cutoffs. We use the firewood to heat our homes. And now our kids are even using the wood stove heat to bake sourdough bread they make from scratch. Love this place! Happy Earth Day.Waste Not
