Yay, Dads
Yay, Dads This weekend is Father’s Day. The 1st recognized statewide Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. It became a national holiday in 1972. Coincidentally, it was three dads in the state of Washington that came up with the game of Pickleball. In order to entertain their kids during the Summer of 1965, they combined a lowered badminton net, ping-pong paddles, a wiffle ball, and conceived the foundation of the game we now know as Pickleball. Yay, Dads!

Homemade Recipes Are The Best
Homemade Recipes Are The Best It’s that time. This next week (July 25th through the 27th) is Night In The Country. What started as a Yerington area fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club more than 20-years ago, has grown into one of the biggest country music fests in the West. Good music, people, and camping are a homemade recipe for a fun time. So pull on your boots, and get down out of town at this year’s Night In The Country.

Step Up and Rise
Step Up and Rise Tahoe Fence was asked if we would be able to build a set of stairs from engineered specs to go with a mezzanine railing we worked on. However, there was a catch. The customer wanted to use repurposed materials. Although this build was outside our comfort zone, it wouldn’t be the 1st set of stairs our shop has built. There was a spiral staircase we did some time ago with ammo can lids as steps, and fence cable as railing for a customer’s tree house. Tahoe was up to the challenge. With measurements only, Tahoe’s shop welders recreated this mezzanine staircase with a platform and safety railings. The steps are made of square steel from material shipping racks with cut-offs of expanded metal decking from security gates. The steps are attached to pipe trusses previously used as roof supports. And the safety railing is from scrap, top rail for chain link fencing. After being cleaned up, everything was finished with zinc-rich, galvanized paint. It not only looks good for our customer, but it fits as well! With only some minor alteration to the mezzanine railing, the stairs are ready to be anchored in Mound House (Lyon County.) Sometimes you have to step up out of your comfort zone and rise to the challenge.

Channeling The Boss
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!
Bright Side
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.
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.
Happy Memorial Day
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.
