Have you ever found a cougar on your swing set or a moose in your driveway? Go West, Young Woman! is the true story of one family’s transition from beltway living in metro Washington, D.C. to what they thought would be a “calmer” existence in rural Montana. They soon discover how unprepared they are for the challenges ahead, both comical and adventurous. The humor of their early encounters with cattle and local customs only masks the more ominous confrontations with predators and nature. Through their journey they discover the true meaning of the “code of the West,” a concept which has not entirely vanished from the American way of life. Available in stores or online. Autographed books are available through my website.

20 Fabulous Pool Designs Under 600 sq feet of Water Surface Area Custom pools are a much-desired amenity in Southern Nevada, however in accordance with the 2022 water use ordinance, new residential pools may NOT exceed 600 sq ft of water surface area. The square footage includes a total of the pool, spa, and any infinity-edge troughs where applicable. And, there is also a ban on independent water features. Paragon Pools’ VP & Chief Design Executive Joseph A Vassallo, CBP provides 20 pool designs under 600sq ft as an inspiration for homeowners. Excerpt from the SNWA website: Residential pool size limits Ongoing drought and climate change conditions continue to affect water levels in Lake Mead – Southern Nevada's primary water supply. As a result, the federal government declared a shortage on the Colorado River, reducing Southern Nevada's available water supply by 8.1 billion gallons, and additional reductions are expected in the coming years. To help manage these water supply constraints, the Southern Nevada Water Authority approved a resolution in July 2022 that supports a 600-square-foot surface area limit on new residential pools. The Las Vegas Valley Water District and other local jurisdictions approved this change shortly thereafter with rule and code changes. This measure will help reduce consumptive water use associated with evaporative water loss, targeting savings from the top 25 percent of new pools constructed.

Traditional landscape and sea life designs, local to Turks and Caicos Islands, create the railing design sections (up to 13 feet in length) for areas used in between planters around the property of this lovely home. Durable, heavy gauge aluminum railing sections, as well as several pedestrian gates, were fabricated with sea & bird life of the local area. All to 4" code, aluminum materials provide a long lasting and durable product that puts spindles to shame. Finally--a railing that compliments the natural landscape, rather than deterring from it. Railing and gates shown with primer and penny vein powder coat finish. The exterior railings are dipped in an acid wash bath with a rust inhibitor, powder coated with a layer of primer, and powder coated again with the customer's choice of powder coat colors. This gate is very low maintenance and will always look amazing. No painting ever! What can we design for you?
