Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[LAwaters]

I’m doing driveway crack repair now. Doing half now and half next Spring. Dont want to buy a new driveway.

Yeah, if it gets that bad you just buy the new house that has the new driveway.

You know, as it turns out, this is a very well built house. You never can tell but it’s 26 years old now and I truly have had very little trouble. That said, the driveway is crapola. It’s concrete and I believe it was poured by escaped inmates because they was in a quick hurry to get the job done. I couldn’t have been as schlocky and sloppy if I tried. No idea what they used for expansion joints. I suspect nothing cuz there aren’t any. Just a void where they should be. The control cuts are pure slop and poorly laid out. So I have cracks everywhere and it’s beginning to heave some. So I have to get everything sealed up before I’m spending $20k on a new driveway.

Good luck, Bronze.

Morning... Nice day outside.. Was feeling a bit off this morning. Then I noticed some of my clocks had different times. Right forgot about the time change.

Thanks for the reminder, David. I was completely oblivious.

All that work for nuthin’.

I just finished my driveway crack and joint project till next Spring. I’m about half done. Every crack n joint is sealed up so I don’t have to worry about that getting worse. The top half of the driveway will be done in Spring.

I can no longer do the yard, rake leaves and all that. Have you ever seen a town that has no one available to do yard clean up? At least no one half way reliable. I was quoted mid January before it can be done. Sigh

Finding help is near impossible in many areas these days.

10 years ago today, I put the ciggybutt back in the pack instead of firing it up. I've been vaping ever since.

Congrats on 10 years, awesome milestone. Now, buy something with all that money you saved, lol.

Round 4.5 complete. Long ways to go yet

If it makes you feel better, just think of the $870 you aren't spending on yard clean up and I am. Don't they have small machines to suck up the leaves?

That’s too much money.

I live in the woods so I blow everything there.

That was the cheapest of the estimates, lol. Others were almost $1000. He did use one of those machines. Looks like a mower but sucks up leaves, chips small branches and bags them up.

Not just leaves though. He is hauling off a partial tree that was down and some other junk. Plus, weeded a flower bed and put barrier and mulch down.

It's nice you got a little more for your money than just leaves.
