The Original Ranch, Lakewood, NM - empty

Tuesday, August 28, 2012
The Original Ranch, Lakewood, New Mexico 66 degrees and mostly sunny to 95 degrees and sunny. These morning temperatures are much nicer.

Mens coffee, doughnuts today thanks Greg and water committee meeting. Our water use is much better after repairing three leaks outside the old laundry building. We are checking the cost of a water meter to check the water actually coming into the park. Here the state requires the park to report all water pumped from out wells (we have two deep water wells). Part of our pumped water is piped to waste from the reverse osmosis system that removes iron, nitrates and impurities (hard water) from the water.

Water treatment room

In the old laundry building the water treatment room is now empty stripped back to the studs. At lunch Bonnie and I went to Carlsbad to eat then to Lowes to purchase concrete blocks for steps, the west deck I built Saturday needed a small step.

Steps on both sides

At four o'clock Bonnie and I went to happy hour at the ranch house.
