WHEW! I've spent over a week playing concrete mason every morning, as
so much of the old stuff around the house has broken away, some quite
severely. A couple of buckets of Quikrete down and probably enough sweat to
fill them both (it's not exactly chilly outside). It does feel like I've spent an awful lot of time heading back and forth to Lowe's lately...
I have a little more touching up to
do, but I think the most extensive work is finished. And yes, I'm keeping myself very well hydrated, thank you so much.
Everything else out there is certainly keeping hydrated. Every day for almost
a month now, we've had big rains, frequently with accompanying thunder and
lightning storms, and all that water is washing away tons of the topsoil around our
place. As a result, a couple of trees have fallen in the surrounding woods, one of which came down partially in the driveway. Thankfully, it didn't do any damage to the house, although there's still quite a few nearby that could...
To top it off, we need to have some gutter work done as well, as the existing ones haven't
been able to keep up with these blasted deluges.
As they say, it's always something....
