Friday Night SNAFU
1. Generator wouldn't start...Penelope and a friend helped me get it going.
2. Down to 2 feet in the hole now...1 foot to go.
3. Came home from dinner on Mt. McKenna and found a problem with my electrical and phone systems due to a very bad cow....more info tonight. 99,108,69,0,C
In that bedrock you have there if you are trying to hold something down.Dig a large hole about 1 foot down then with your hammerer drill about six hole in bottom at slight angle insert rebar in the holes then heat sulphur to a liquid an pour around rebar (Do not let sulphur ignite).
Something must have tasted good to them. Hope they didn't get a shock out of it.
ReplyDeleteI was watching last night after you left for dinner. Lots of cows came by and then there was no stream. Bad cows!!
ReplyDeleteI thought we were going to have to send out Fire and Rescue. Ain't like you not to post daily.
