We worked on the gravel around the base of the house. Ivy had her lambs. Llamas climbed on piles of rotting poo. We started forming the slab under the carport.
1.15 tons of #57 gravel from the quarry. We go there so often I think the guy in the scale house has our tare weight on a post-it note stuck to his computer.
Lisa dug the trench while I stood around and looked pretty.
We continued the plastic drain tile around the corner and down the hill.
We stopped short of the crawl space door. The slab extends about a foot out from the block wall. We plan to divert the water flow differently from there.
The llamas climb on the compost pile to get to the higher up leaves on the locust tree. All the herbivores seem to really like eating locust tree leaves.
Ivy's new babies.
One boy, one girl. That concludes this year's summer lambing season. We have thirteen lambs on the ground now. Dudley came home today so we should have a late fall lambing too.
The slab is going to be in front of the door under the carport.
I dug out the sod and we planted it in the front yard where the lawn was damaged from the plumbers.
Notice the rotting door frame. It's all water rot from where the door sill broke off. If by some mystical synergistic cosmic alignment, an engineer with vast experience with home improvement were to magically appear here in the next month or so we might enlist his help to get it fixed. The sill plate is rotted to the corner of the building so there may be some jacking and bracing involved.

LOL, I think the planets are going to be aligning soon!
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that "an engineer with vast experience with home improvement" may be me??? I believe we discussed this as a potential problem last year?? So, now at least 2 projects.
ReplyDelete1)The fence over the creek and 2)the door frame repair!
See you guys soon,
