Welcome to Home Ownership
We “formed” the sidewalk on Saturday. And by we, I mean Dario, because we have no idea what we are doing and Dario does this for a living, except he does giant buildings not little sidewalks, but still.
It is now September and we are still dealing with the fall out of the drain tile. I wonder if we can drag it out for the whole year of 2013?
Before you go and complain about some small inconvenience that occurred in your house, remember that your basement did not flood because the previous owners were asshats, costing you thousands of dollars, hundreds of man hours, and your sanity. Now, if your basement did flood, then welcome to the seventh circle of hell.
Also, do you have any idea how annoying and costly it is to find a way to get rid of extra dirt? Who would have thought. I think Tony Soprano was right, I need to get into the waste management business.
Also, also, the last bin waste management dropped off dented our driveway, so we made a claim against them, and it got denied. YAY! Another thing broken that needs to be fixed!
I feel the need to rant about how expensive everything has been because it is finally starting to hit me. I want to buy baby things and I can’t because I have to buy a side walk.
While hanging out with the boys in the back yard I discovered that one of our backyard renters caught himself a giant moth. Good for you little buddy. I’m sending a rent increase of 10% your way.
If you are scared of spiders I recommend you NOT hang out in our backyard.
This is the landing pad. I am actually very excited about the landing pad. I am excited that it will no longer be a pile of rocks growing weeds, but will actually be a proper concrete pad that will look amazing. BRUSH FINISH. Or is it Broom Finish?
We need industrial strength drainage thanks to all them pine needles.
Chad has to finish making all the dirt level where we are pouring concrete, them we get to pick up another giant load of 3/4 crush, spread that out, tap it down, and then maybe, just MAYBE we can finally pour the concrete. And hopefully this will be done soon so that my Nonna will stop calling me to ask if we have poured concrete yet because, you know, the weather is turning and its going to be too cold and the concrete is not going to cure and every bad thing imaginable is going to happen.
On the bright side of all this? I get a beautiful concrete landing pad.
