His place is nicer than I had expected, but it does need a LOT of TLC. It is easy to see that he has already done a lot of work. I will include some photos tonight or tomorrow. There are some nice places in the neighborhood, but most are fairly run down. We didn't see many white faces, although the few people we spoke to were friendly enough. We had a late lunch at a BBQ place a couple of blocks from his house. It was finger licking good.
We bought a pole saw, I left mine in TN, and will be doing some serious pruning today so that we can get our RV in his driveway. Looks like we will have several feet to spare lengthwise but width will be a problem with the slides. We may only put out 3 of our 4 slides to reduce the amount of trees/bushes that we have to cut down/back. The yellow vertical "line" is my tape measure, it is the clearance line to get the RV into the driveway. The gate is 12' wide and the street is 35-40' wide, and not real busy, so we can get through the gate OK.
He has a sewer cleanout where we should be able to reach it without much problem, we may need another length of sewer hose. He has outside hose bibs so hooking up to water should be easy enough. He already has a 30 amp 220/240 breaker in a panel for his welder. I think I have enough 50 amp cable to be able to reach the panel and use that breaker. 30 amps on each of two 110/120 legs should be all the power we need.
Night before last, here at the fairgrounds where we are camped, the temperature got down to 30. Last nights low was 33. The lowest low forecast in Oakland for the next week is 37 and the highest high is 62. With the bright sun 62 make the RV warm and toasty. Since we only set the thermostats at 55 in the front and 50 in the back when we go to bed the heat pumps should not have to work to hard with 37 for a low.
Got to get to work.
God bless you and yours.
