Some Mondays are good. Some are really good.

Had some unexpected visitors join us on a job site with the City of Ronald today. 👍🦌

Just another reminder that in Washington, even a workday can come with a pretty incredible view.

There is nothing like a satisfied customer thanking you for getting their water going again.

This picture was taken early on Halloween morning by my nephew. I love the sky's color, matching the color of a Halloween pumpkin, and our renovated neon sign really sparkles. Grandpa George would be happy we were hard at work before sunrise!

Buying your dream country property in the Yakima Valley can feel like a fairy tale — until the well goes out right after closing. 😬

In our latest podcast, Yakima realtor Moriet Miketa shares a real story of a $1.6 million sale where that exact thing happened — all because the buyers (and their agent from the west side) didn’t understand what it takes to maintain a well here in Yakima.

Whether you’re buying or selling, local experience matters — especially when it comes to water. From understanding well depth to pump maintenance, it pays to work with people who know this valley inside and out.

Everyone wants a slice of country life - the wide-open views, the space to roam, the little yellow dog and maybe a couple of mini cows. 🐕 🐄

But as Yakima realtor, Moriet Miketa and Doug Picatti discuss in our latest podcast, there’s a big difference between the dream and the details. When you buy land or move to a property with a well, water becomes the most important part of your country-living equation.

💧 How much water do you need?
💧 What happens if your well can’t keep up?
💧 What are the real costs of maintaining rural water systems?

Doug and Moriet break down what every buyer should know before chasing that “two acres with a view.”

🚜💧 Who really owns the water?

Doug and Tom dig into the never-ending battle over water rights — and how agriculture often ends up paying the price.

➡️ Farmers and ranchers facing tighter regulations
➡️ Businesses being driven out as supplies shrink
➡️ Constant lawsuits over “who owns the water”

While agriculture may feel like the easy target, these battles ripple out to every community in the West — including homeowners with wells here in the Yakima area.

🎥 Watch the full exchange in this reel.
