These are pictures from the new project I am building in Mancos, Colorado. Just stripped the foundation and am starting on drains. Sorry about the size of the files…I have not figured out how to downsize them yet.

Nice views. Get lumber loads on that bike? Might be good to learn to resize your pics otherwise the dial uppers (of which there are many here) will never see them.
Beautiful wide open views.
Tried to resize the photos for you, still learning to use this program.
Much friendlier size, thank you.
We're westerners originally. Hadda smile at "Beautiful wide open views".
Means no trees, bald. <G>
Here too, but here you'd be in a hay field. We like our seasonal views (deciduous trees).
Complicated foundation. I presume there's a reason. PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
I was talking mainly about the mountains in the background when your are from NYC originally and now Long Island, what you have are hills or what you guys out west or even in Virgina would probably think were speed bumps.
Spent a couple of weeks out in AZ, NV and UT this summer and it was beautiful.
Now trees... I love'em and we have plenty of them here and since we moved into this house we have added more..Redwoods, Birches, Oaks, Pear trees.
That VA hay field...I'd take that in a heartbeat over LI, but the wife wants to be around the (hers mainly) family. Not that LI isn't nice, but it is too crowded and way too expensive.
Yeah, I understood the first time. Just tickled at your phrasing. Friends here tell us what a view we'd have if we'd just "take out a few trees". Which creates a maintenance issue. Trees are what're natural here. And I delight in making something from those trees.
I've heard that: "mountains? I don't see any mountains here". Everything's relative. We looked at a wide area of the west, for a long time, before deciding that central Va had what we needed. Including this 400' tall "mountain" with its War of Northern Aggression era name: Israel Mtn.
Love the west, couldn't find anywhere there we wanted to live. Last trip was 3 months' looking, Washington to New Mexico. Gotta admit, we never considered LI. <G>
Actually own a few acres in the Arizona mtns, at 8000' elev. Family property for the past 50 yrs. Don't choose to live there, nice as it is.
Here's what we'll look out at soon enough:PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!
