    I made a trip to the Avery station on Saturday to cart off a hillbilly safe sex device (padded headboard) that was dumped near our driveway. 

    Stealing items off porches and dumping trash on neighbor's land is not acceptable.  It would be great if the culprits could find a new place to hang out.

    Yes, it is the new development across from the rec center.  The critter strapped into the car seat is a squirrel and not a raccoon.  A new addition today is a child's rubber ball, so whoever is taking things from the cabins is still at it!  The car seat looks to be in pretty good shape.

    I'd like to catch the SOBs that are dumping the stuff (and/or stealing it too). Earlier this year we used the upper court at the end of street to practice on our scooters for the DMV test. There was an old vacuum cleaner on the side of the road and we hauled it off to the dump. Maybe I should put my "spare" surveillance camera over there.

    were is this Timber Trail?  Google is no help.

    Could it be the new development area across the street from the rec center?  I notice that on Google Maps you can see the street in the satellite view but it does not show up as a street in the map view.

    I saw a little old brown racoon strapped into the baby carseat. It's about 8-10 " talll. I didn't see the 'welcome' sign.

    I drove through last night because I had never been to the end of that road. It was a little freaky to see all that stuff set up like that.

    Anyone missing yard art should go and check it out…could ber stuff you're missing?

    You didn't by chance see a weathered raccoon with a Welcome sign on the trail?  Some thief stole it off our porch a couple of years ago.

    On our morning walk the other day, we came upon a "menagerie" of yard art, etc. that some local pranksters have put together on the Timber Trail street off Sierra Parkway.  The latest addition today is a child's car seat – hope a family doesn't need this to get home!

    i'll check the pressure when we get up there. not sure when that will be. depends on the smoke.  i know the house is copper not galvanized.  i talked to the previous owner and he didn't know about one but i have a couple places to check. i'll also check in the meter box itself!

    thanks for all the help!

    My cabin had its final inspection in 2000.  I did not have a pressure reducer and the inspector made no comment about it and I passed.  I installed one the next year on the house side of the meter by the street following CCWD instructions that CCWD gave me when I bought my cabin.

    Sounds like a regulator isn't required. ndamico, I would check the water pressure and see what it is just out of curiosity. I guess you could have some kind of blockage in your water line but I don't have any ideas what it might be.

    In case you didn't see these, they're worth taking a look at.

    my water pipes coming into the house are ABS.  under the house where i do the winterizing there are just 2 ball valves, one is the low point drain and the other the on/off for suppy. its right where it comes out of the ground. i haven't seen a regulator of any kind and i've followed the pipes around but i'll do some more looking.

    thanks

    Interesting. I haven't seen a place up here without a regulator before. I always assumed it was code but maybe not. I couldn't find a guage online at Ace, but True Value has them or you can get one at Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Bird-P2A-Water-Pressure/dp/B00004RACK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378005904&sr=8-1&keywords=water+pressure+gauge

    http://www.truevalue.com/product/Water-Pressure-Test-Gauge-100-PSI/49103.uts?keyword=Water%20Pressure%20Gauge

    With either one of those kind of gauges you can connect it to any of your standard water faucets and check your water pressure. I think under 40 pounds is getting on the low side.
