We’ve had the second storm of the season that, in the past, would have been a blizzard. Instead, it’s 60 degrees with high wind and heavy rain.
The power went out this morning and the utility doesn’t have an estimate when it will be restored. I fired up the portable generator and recharged my phone, which is now running as a Wi-Fi hotspot for the new laptop PC.
Yes, the garage floor needs to be resurfaced. It’s on the list.
I went to the periodontist today to get a titanium post, but all I got was a lousy bone graft. Based on what he saw a month ago, he was hoping the graft wouldn’t be necessary, but once he opened up the gum, no such luck. $2350 for the graft, and assuming all looks well for the titanium post in three months, that will be another $3000. Hooray for dental surgery!
Hey! Stop that! Don’t eat my expensive arborvitae! Get away from there you deer!
There! I’d like to see them try nibbling through that left-over aluminum screening I kept in the garage from a long-ago project.
They’re in the woods, waiting for me to drop my guard, I just know they are. But I won’t let them get the jump on me! Nosiree! Not me! I’ll hide under the deck and catch them in the act. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. Heh, heh. They picked the wrong guy to mess with! Laugh at me, will they? I’ll show them!
A $225 DIY decorative project from Lowe’s for the walkway.
During the summer I succeeded in keeping water out of the basement with this proof-of-concept setup.
That PVC pipe, and an identical section, came with the house, presumably intended for a project that was never done. The pipes are now buried in a single long run that’s carrying downspout water away from the foundation of the house and emptying downhill.
I think I’m developing a hardscaping habit.
