Merry Christmas
From all of us at Tahoe Fence, Merry Christmas.
Wishing you our warmest regards and all the best this winter and holiday season.

Holiday Cheer
Holiday Cheer
After this past week, sure is nice to see some more holiday cheer.
So a big thank you to our neighbors in the Comstock Industrial Park here in Mound House. Like V and T Rock Inc. and ARMAC Construction, LLC a couple of the businesses that have gone all out to decorate. Their Christmas lights shining before dawn help to start our day with a smile. Can you ever be too old for Christmas lights?
Pictured: Tahoe’s holiday decorations this year. Lighted Christmas trees outlined on our front, green-slatted fence. Our reclaimed PVC-Post Snowmen for outside and our inside version made from PVC cutoffs. Tahoe’s recycled, woven-wire Santa wreath with lights. And our scrap material gingerbread men window decorations.
Good To Your Neighbors
Good To Your Neighbors
It’s that festive time of year when people get into the spirit of the holidays and seem to be more neighborly to one another.
When strangers act like neighbors that get along with each other.
Or maybe it’s just our coffee and peppermint bark creamer talking.

It’s Cold Outside
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
