Keep an eye out for a 99-04 jetta jetta wagon or golf  1.9l alh tdi with a manual trans. They pop up in that price range but they go FAST. Flat freeway he’ll get 40-50mpg. Super reliable and cheap to fix. Was a wagon like mine last week popped up for 5500$ almost went and got it to flip. Wagons are the holy grail and dont last but minutes on craigslist

Looks a little rough but here's one in Tucson for $3800

Sounds like me when I was a kid. Does he have the aptitude to go back to school? In my industry, we cannot find good Engineers - Mechanical, Electrical, Software. After 3-5 years, these young inexperienced kids pull in $125-150K, and the sky's the limit if they can become managers, directors, etc. 

A good college degree is something nobody can ever take away, and it almost guarantees you'll have a bright future.

My son in law went to college late, 24-25 got an engineering degree, 4 years ago started a $75k at General Dynamics right out of ASU, then 18 months later 100k at a designer window manufacture, he was recently offered $140k from a competitor in Houston leading their engineering teams, all remote from Phoenix. Engineering is probably one of the hottest jobs out there. If you son enjoys working with his hands and building things he might want to take a tour of a college this summer that has a good engineering program. My SOL worked at General Dynamics as an intern 3 of the 4 years he was in school making good money.

Have also heard that with all the snow and rain in the north that the Colorado should have the best year in more than a decade

West of the continental divide  had a terrible snow pack, idk about the east. But I just visited the Animas and backpacked Vallecito creek trail up to 92k no snow pack, rivers are bony (white water folks will know what i mean). I drove from phx passed though 6 rivers and double that amount of creeks all the way to Rio Grande in Creed and they are all low this year. The only good sign was that we did get some monsoon action in early June on our trip. I have been Kayaking and/or rafting the Animas and local lakes over the last 9+ years and the last good snow pack/high river action I remember seeing was in '18 maybe '19?

I am not a water expert however I believe Az gets the 2nd largest share of the CO river but our state utilizes/has/refills our natural underground aquifers, I think we have near a 40/30/20/10 split between aquifers, CO river, in state rivers, and reclamation projects. So we could lose that CO river allotment (i think it was already cut for this year) and still "survive" but it will take cuts/caps on our usage and population growth.

"Here's your box" unless your going to work hard you might as well figure out how to live in it now. He was also a high school science teacher, until retirement he spent his 20s-40s laying carpet, then learned about stocks and became a broker, he always went to college when he could. finally graduated 25+ years later /w bs at ASU and msc at Georgia state U before becoming a teacher (I think my dad went to 6+ universities throughout the west/south). He was pretty blunt with his students since be began teaching in his 50s.

RIP 

It don’t have peddles but I have been wanting to get a SurRon since watch this kid on YouTube last year

Bailed out on our usual memorial weekend camping adventures to work on the house. Ugh...

Making slow progress.

I used to be a flooring guy, my dad, my grand-dad etc. Worked my way through college on my knees (fuzzy side up, no pun intended), 2o years later decided to put wood floors in my house, 8 years later and my knees still haven't forgiven me. I applaud your effort and take as much time as you need :P 

Don't know if your still looking but here's one in phx for $4750

Re-pipe through the walls.

That makes more sense then the tunneling solution I found after posting especially in Az with our caliche. It cost me an extra 6k for the hole in my back yard.

I wonder how you can deal with something like this if you have a post tension slab?

Nice, I have always wanted to make a trip to Dumont, plan to hit it this coming up season.

where was this listed?

Facebook

heres another unit in phoenix if your still looking

Not sure where you are looking at but someone in phoenix replied to a WTB on FB with the following;

2018 DYNAMIX TURBO 4 SEATER WITH RUGGED,PUMPER,WHIPS,PADDLES,CAGE,DOORS,METHOD WHEELS,SPARE TIRE CARRIER,HEATED SEATS,CUSTOM TWISTED X SEATS,REAR BENCH,2300 miles,28,500

I used to be the in low pressure better floatation more cushion camp, but after learning that having squishy tires not only takes away from your shocks doing their job but (since the tires are compressing and your shocks are not as much as they would normally) also lowers total ground clearance and can cause you to bottom out when you wouldn't normally, while 3-4" may not seem like much it makes a world of difference on my yxz specifically but ymmv.
