What I'm Reading This Week #30
Happy Final Friday of July everyone! I will not be sad to see this month in the rear view. The Mr finished the HOA minion's job by checking on the basement wall crevasse of missing mortar pretty much every waking hour after he "filled" the hole. I gave him a bamboo skewer to see if it hit the long bottom we saw with the camera. Nope. source When he poked it, it drained away. Every hour, he'd do the same and it kept emptying. I had him check to make sure it wasn't pouring out the front of the house and thankfully it wasn't. But if you figure that water has been etching away at the stairstep crack leading from the top of the hole then that goes down the entire length of the wall , so it had a long way to travel. In the end not only did the Mr use one quart of the filler but had to buy another one and used 1/3 of the bottle before it finally started leveling off!! If we'd left it to the HOA dude, an eighth of the bottle woul...
Good job!! Have a fun weekend, looking forward to all the details!! (It's a working weekend for me but I'll still find time for fun things!)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Can we be cautiously optimistic for next week? Enjoy the weekend. I've got Relay for Life tonight, walking all night and selling some goodies as a fundraiser. It's for a good cause and worth it, but it's going to be a long night and a longer tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss two weeks in a row!! Enjoy your road trip--and coming home to the power working! We got our deductible back from our accident (yippee!!) yesterday so that was a lovely surprise. We are taking in someone's dog (bad neglect issues) to see how she gets along with Finny and we'll see how it goes from there. It'll be an interesting weekend that's for sure.... =o)
ReplyDeleteA killer workout that's already done and now laundry. Exciting weekend, huh? :). Contests on the loss and hope you have a great road trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat results!
ReplyDeleteMost of my week will be devoted to house projects. (What else is new?)
Safe travels!
The kids and grand kids are coming out to swim��
ReplyDeleteWe took the canoe out yesterday. We have a trolling motor for it and were glad we brought it yesterday the wind was really pushing us around. We paddled as well. Saw a first for me: a couple came in a double kayak and brought their dog. I need to google him, but it was a tallish, short-furred, blue-eyed water dog (clearly! ;) and he was wearing his life vest with the handle on the back. Well, he hopped around in the wearer, getting wet and getting psyched, but once the couple was ready and the wife got in the front, he got really excited and swam out around the kayak. Then the husband got in the back. As I stood there thinking, how are they going to get him in the kayak, they shoved off - the dog swimming out in front!! That dude was still in the lead, slightly to the right side of the kayak as I watched it disappear around a bend! Swimming with his vest on, smiling - I swear! COOL!
ReplyDeleteToday is unplanned as of yet ;) Hope you guys are having fun!! Way to go on the loss!!!
