And, so I spent the morning using the lawn sweeper and the rake and managed to rid the yard of all the leaves. I made a pretty amazing discovery that in addition to all the spider webs all over the house we also have a serious number of spiders living all over our yard. Which I know could be a “duh” moment but I was stunned by the number of spiders roaming about the yard.
The real reason for staying at home this morning was to wait for the B-Dry sales guy to come by and write up the job to finish the 12ft of our basement we didn’t get done in March. How silly it seems now that we didn’t get that section done back in the spring, but we really thought we were staying put. He didn’t get to the house until 12:30 so instead of having to knock off with the leaf raking I was forced to finish the entire yard. I had really hoped he would roll up in the driveway and give me a reason to stop.
Now I think the better-half has a date with a rake the next time the yard fills up with leaves.
By the way, the sales guy said this in conversation “those barbarians over there”. I picked the skin around one of my finger nails. Cowardly, perhaps, but I want my basement fixed so I kept my thoughts to myself. Really, I don’t want to piss of the guy who can get my basement fixed in the next two weeks by asking him which barbarians was he referring to.
