Emily and I drove up to Denver and went to the Denver County Fair. They call it the “Fairly Weird Fair”. It was very cool to experience a county fair in a different state. We had foot long corn dogs, funnel cakes, and shaken lemonade; it was a fairly normal […]

The Manitou Incline!
Emily and I woke up at 4:30 am to hoke the Manitou Incline so we could do it during the sunrise. It consisted of over 2,700 vertical stairs straight up the side of a mountain. It took us 1 hour and 6 min to complete, and the views were well […]

Read MoreProperty Inspection
This week I tagged along with one of the appraisers, Josh, to a property inspection. He had me look up the property and create front-end work for the properties before we toured so that I was familiar with the property. When we got there we greeted the property owner and […]
Read MoreComputer Problems
Since the start of my internship I was given a computer system already set up with all the software and programs needed for completing my day-to-day tasks. Because the computer that I was given was set with one of the appraisers, Josh’s, credentials I had to wipe the computer clean […]

Really starting to take shape. Got half of the warehouse walls fully sheet-ted. Got a lot done before the rain started to hit us. Good week of work.
Read MoreFinancial Meeting
About once a month, depending on the time of year, the owner and manager sit down for a meeting to talk about the current financial state of the company. I was fortunate enough to be able to join them this month for their meeting. It was very informative and such […]
Read MoreMother Nature
Lots of fog this morning on the way to work. Saw a couple cars parked on the side of the road trying to wait it out. Not fun driving in but what do you do.
Read MoreMaternity Leave
Since I have worked at High Plains, I haven’t had my own desk, computer nor phone until now. Although I am very sad that one of my co workers left on her maternity leave, especially for how much she has taught me, I am very happy that I get to […]
