eke, a hole...
Eked out 8 more holes from the ailing hammer drill this morning...just enough to hit bottom of hole 3. Cut, drilled, prepped, planted, plumbed and ready to pour tomorrow morning. 95,105,74,0,B
Noticed that Benita has her back to you, apparently she has seen all the work she wants to. Unlike her, work fascinates me, I could sit and watch it all day, especially with a comfy chair and a tall cool one somewhere in the shade.
Yup, you look like you've just emerged from the ground!
I guess you're figuring how to tie in the new roof you're constructing into the exhausting water catchment system of the greenhouse, or else, devising an independent catchment system for it. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.
Too bad you can't get some of those freeloaders laying around there to help you.
ReplyDeleteLooking good John.
ReplyDeleteIs that Beatriz and Penelope in the background?
giggling at Benita's posture....she's probably thinking "that guy just doesn't know how to relax"
ReplyDeleteWell! John...
ReplyDeleteFor a few seconds I thought the "Travelocity Gnome" was visiting The Field Lab...
Good picture. That's good looking helpers you have there.
