Wednesday, October 28, 2009 - Mud

Wednesday, October 28, 2009 Today was a day of rest; a day to let things dry out. Apparently when moving concrete blocks yesterday the workers had quite a time sliding around the backyard with all that weight on the forklift and a soft, muddy backyard. Minnie stared out the window with more than a hint of jealousy. I was told they almost took out a pine tree, which would have been no skin off my nose. Doesn't seem a whole lot dryer today, and they need to find some way to get the blocks to the back. I see only two options besides waiting until spring for things to dry out - 1. Remove another portion of fence leading to the back patio which would give them a path of aggregate concrete all the way to the excavation site, or 2. Lay down gravel on the muddy path already created. I see dollar signs with both options, and I don't like that at all...especially since if the block would have been ordered on time and delivered on dry Monday, I would be writing about a different subject right now.
