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...
I so wish there was more we could do to move the bathroom project along. It's so frustrating that nothing else can be done until they do the shower install but my energy level is high right now and it's frustrating to not be able to do anything yet. Oh well I just need to be patient. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteMe too, though I know I have to get a move on with the vanity. Sigh.
DeleteNot one trick or treater. Halloween is a tough day for me, too many memories.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
Aww, I'm sorry. Big hugs and I hope it stings even a tiny bit less than yesterday. 🫂
DeleteI live out in a very rural area, so we rarely get trick or treaters. This being said, in the midwest, trick or treating is very much alive, and the small towns usually get quite a few trick or treaters. My inlaws went through 150 full size candy bards last year passing them out. I haven't checked with them this year to hear their totals.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! I bet the kiddies love their house! That's a lotta moolah. I'm glad to hear it's still alive and well somewhere. We live in a big city so I really don't get it.
DeleteWe live out in the country so no trick or treaters. Although our grocery store offered treats for the kids. Seeing them in their costumes was great. No real plans this weekend. Hoping Sunday the weather is clear so we can get our morning walk in.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get any visitors at all. We can always count on 2 kids coming but not this year. Bummed about that. This weekend I'll be writing up some training notes for work, but will leave everything else for Monday. Have 2 loads of laundry done, so 2 more to go. Thanksgiving list, and filing I've put off for way too long. Church on Sunday, than a nap.😊 I hope you guys have a good weekend of productivity and some relaxation time sprinkled in!
