> Dazed humming bird.
Posted by The McGuires - 06-23-08 15:49 - 0 comments
This poor little humming bird crashed into one of our windows and I tracked him down outside where I found him taking a rest on a deck railing. I'm guessing it's a male humming bird because of his pretty colors.

We also have a bright red Cardinal which we have named 'Basher' that visits us all day by slamming into the windows. He starts around 5am - 6am and makes quick dive bombs throughout the day. I'm hoping to get a photo of Basher soon.

> Burst water pipe at 614 Walsh Hill Trail
Posted by The McGuires - 06-12-08 10:26 - 0 comments

So yesterday morning I noticed that the water pressure in our house had increased just a tiny bit. I could hear it when the toilet was refilling. It sounded much louder and our shower had just a bit more pressure.

We left for a late lunch and ran some errands and as we were driving up the hill to our house we saw a huge water geiser from a pipe that had burst.

Later that night we had our own water pipe burst just near the junction where the sprinker system was tied in. Choate Irrigation was nice enough to come out and fix it for us.

We've been busy doing upgrades to our new home and have several good references for vendors that we have worked with whom have provided us with satisfactory results.

Also, if anyone want's a quick how-to on putting down a nice show room epoxy finish on their garage floor, give me a shout.

We have a good water softener company, gutter company, and finish carpenter referral.

This street guide shows a list of some of the name changes our streets are going through! There isn't much mention of the streets near Walsh Trails but this stuff is good to know none the less!

Thank you John Paul Porter of the Dignified Dwellings Team

> Front yard fun!
Posted by The McGuires - 02-7-08 11:53 - 0 comments
I spent some time today doing a mock up of what we may do to our front yard. I took the original photo into Photoshop and you can see what was added. What do you think? See any problems with the idea of a wall in the front yard?

> The new road.
Posted by The McGuires - 02-6-08 13:06 - 0 comments
Somehow we accidentally ended up on the new roads being built at the top of Walsh Hill Trail. We were surprised to find so many calcite crystal geodes and little shell fossils. The land has been all but obliterated and it will be interesting to see development progress.

This raises a few questions for us of course. Mainly will the big trucks be rolling up the hill via Walsh Hill Trail or will they be entering through a new rear entrance? I haven’t seen the road maps which would lend me logical speculation as to what will happen.

I can say that it would ‘blow’ to have trucks steaming up the main drag of Walsh Trails at sunrise.

> Should the Walshtrails website be private?
Posted by The McGuires - 02-4-08 12:58 - 0 comments
It occured to me that perhaps the website should be for community residents only? Does this make sense? I can see pro's and con's for each side of the issue but thought that I would make a poll. Please login and vote! It's your duty!

Greetings!

We will be moving into Walsh Trails in a couple of months. Are there any DSL providers in the neighborhood yet, or is Time Warner the only option for broadband?

Thanks!

Posted by Walsh Trails Admin - 12-24-07 08:41 - 2 comments
Per the suggestion of some of the staff at David Weekley we have launched our first version of the Walsh Trails Classifieds. You can find it in the top menu links. This would be a great place to ask people for their empty boxes as you get close to your move in date.

Thanks for lettin' me bend yer ear.

We are The McGuire's -

A little about us...

Tom started this website and does website hosting for a living and Kirsten (aka Kiwe) is a Graphic Design & Website Developer.

We just moved here from Southern California, dont know anyone yet, work from home, and we are expecting our first child Dec. 7, 2007 - a little girl we are going to name Mia!

Our new Walsh Trails home is probably going to be ready for move-in sometime within the first couple months of 2008! We are super excited and are going to be living in a CAPRI floorplan up at the top of the hill on Walsh Hill Trail.

Hopefully everyone else out there will start introducing ourselves and we can have an active and fun community!

Peace out!

Kiwe and Tom
