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...
TGIF indeed! Looks like some more good links and I can't wait to check 'em out. You already know what I'm gonna do this weekend since it happens to be the same as what you're gonna do. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in the textcalories tracker from the first article. I wonder if any of your readers have tried it? I really like the idea of just texting my info because I'm not allowed on social networking sites from work so Spark (where I usually track)is out. So are most of the others listed because they have a social networking aspect.
ReplyDeleteThe good Samaritan story reminds me that people, in general, are good and that we need to focus on the good not the bad.
I so want to buy those grapes.
Thanks ... a nice collection of articles and info!
