Living the Dream Day 36

Day 36 – Living the Dream.

Debating about these laundromat trips. Spending lots of money and time on going. My friend Ann asked why we didn’t put a washer and dryer in the old house. The old house is gross, but we are now contemplating buying the set we will put in the new house. Putting it in the tool room off the kitchen or on the back porch. Haven’t made a decision yet. We woke up to pouring rain this morning and then it rained on and most of the day. Very humid and hot even with the cloud covering. Around 4pm, it turned hot and sunny. Steve has five courses of block completed on the one side and back.

The canopies are working good. We moved them around and set them up for tomorrow. The blocks need to be kept dry.

The weather forecast shows rain everyday for the next week or so. The objective right now is to get five courses of block done all the way around. We will leave an open area in the front so we can still bring a wheelbarrow in and out.

After the five courses are done, Steve will plaster and tar the outside, and put in the drainage pipes, stone, hay, and some dirt on top. Then back to laying more rows of block.

Today’s product recommendations are for protecting yourself while doing hard physical labor 1) A good pair of gloves, and 2) Heavy duty canopy to protect yourself from the sun and rain. Here’s the Amazon links to these products:
