Moving to AZ - research thread

Cheers!

 

noice!!!!
nothing over here yet (SE Valley)

 

ya, my sister in law who's out there now sent me a video.

just looks like a minor thunderstorm to me, but we get really violent weather here and even worse in northern MN where I vaca.

that said, we dont have those washes here at all so that will be interesting to see.

its almost moving time

 

Yeah it’s nothing to big, but we’ve been pretty dry this year, so we embrace even the smallest amount

 

yea im in Gilbert. so Phoenix valley. you're down in Tucson right?

 

I bet, its been so humid here is just awful, we finally got a break, dew points low 60's

looks like 2 days of rain there then back to all suns

 

Looks good!!!

im closing on the 14th moving truck load in Illinois 21st

 

I took a video of some decently hard rain we got the other day after I jumped in the pool to cool off. Shows the layout of our shelf and benches, in case you need some inspiration

I think I’ll get one of those shelf’s looks nice

I was thinking of maybe just a side 0 entry lane type thing with a rail for the older folks maybe on the side of the shelf or something

Trying to think if I want umbrellas like the other guy or a shade sail

 

Sails are cool if you have the right setup, but you need really good anchor points for those and they aren’t easy to take down during storms. We have 2 umbrella sleeves on the shelf, the big cantilever umbrella on the sun deck, and another 9 ft umbrella we move around as needed. Gets us plenty of shade and are easy to take down when it gets windy. Just make sure you do or this shit happens.

 

yup. have had several umbrellas end up in the pool, bent or broken. none have vacated the backyard tho... heard of that happening mary poppins style.
