Now don't quote me.....Brownie chunks.....chocolate pudding and cool whip make up that spessshull desert....I call it "Bad Memory Puddin' ".....Time wasn't something she would spend on cooking...just
throw it together...Try as I might I couldn't make her grasp the low and slow style I've perfected....
Water in the basement....I watched for years as my Dad siphoned Mom's basement with a hose...It's a below grade basement and such but the grade drops pretty fast too a creek between our houses..When Dad passed and draining the basement became my job....well I ain't got time for no dang hose...I waited for rain and marked the lowest spot with a brick...When the water receded I cut a trench in the concrete with my trusty body
shop air hammer...One catch basin and drain pipe later....No hose required...Pretty soon that repair will be twenty years and still holding....
50* now and a high of 49* tomorrow....Still raining....
