Joe and Carol Dirks celebrated their 70th birthday year rehabbing a very tired fixer they picked up in Salton Sea. It is a fun place to go and soak up the sun when the temperature drops at their home in RB. But, it was about finished! They had been trolling Palomar listings for several years and when they saw Arbolito Lodge, they stepped up to the challenge. Level the floor 6 inches? Get power reconnected after being off for 8 years? Move the critters out? No problem! Let’s see, they already replaced the broken windows, the old wood stove works great, their new electric blanket is much appreciated when it’s snowy, and Carol has everything sparkling and cute inside. When you stop in, she might even have some of her yummy cookies waiting for you! They are having a wonderful time and love their newest project on the Mountain top!
