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...
Grilling out sounds perfect to me. Those links are hilarious and I like your strategy of looking at those after reading the news. The news is a friggin cesspool lately... well okay it really always has been. Just be glad 2020 is over half over now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI stopped reading or listening to the news in January. I do look up things I'm wondering about. My kids are here, they've been locked in for months so I feel safe having them here. Pool, grilling and cards all weekend.
Happy 4th
I have to work so I'll be sleeping for part of the afternoon. We will grill out hamburgers and the hubs wants chips, and I'm going to have some green beans. Simple grocery shopping tomorrow and laying low inside the house. I had pest control yesterday to get rid of all the wasps nests that were way up high as well as doing the whole yard and around the house for ants, fleas, ticks, and any more wasps they could find. Then they came in to spray under the windows, checked for any entryways for mice (found none except one in the garage which they fixed), and they cleaned out the cobwebs in the garage and on the front porch and around the windows. Plant based solutions, and it was wonderful to have no chemical smell. Dogs are happy to be inside with the a/c, but my girl still loves to lay in the sunshine. LOL With the new windows it doesn't get nearly as hot so she stretches out with a happy grin on her face. Our boy will be wearing his Thunder Shirt tonight for any fireworks that people light off (all festivities are canceled around town). We had a couple last night and I put that shirt on him and he was able to sleep.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic 4th of July and enjoy some patio time! xoxo
