Good morning!!!!

So if I understand, you were making multiple batches. If so and the early ones were too stiff I would spread thinner and allow for the proper batches to be the top layer providing you don’t have a cold joint, which I suspect not.

Think four 13' long sections of 3' wide sidewalk, laid side-by-side, David, the first of which was put down yesterday. I think I've heard the joint between them called a cold joint, as I don't intend to use any sort of expansion joint between. Just the 14 pieces of rebar spaced on 1' intervals running the 11' distance of the completed pad. Yes, the last section will only be 2' wide, or maybe I'll splurge on some extra bags and make it 3' wide as well?

While I'm asking questions, would it be too soon to remove the one side of the form through which those rebars go, and pour another section today? Or would it be better not to risk damaging that first section?

Good morning, temp is 33°F and going to 48. Wind N 11 mph. Mainly cloudy.

I'm off to North Bay this morning, fresh veggies are in the list.


Have a safe day all, stay healthy

Nice sunny day here, high in upper 60's, but as with others in this area, high winds and red flag warnings

really want to go to Lowes and pick up some dark grey paint to paint just repaired well house, but can I call it essential?
No...
However, I do need eggs, so perhaps I can justify a brief trip.
Sure will wear my mask though. I changed out the inner filter, an N95 rated carbon filter yesterday.

I haven't looked at the flower garden in a few days, hope everything is popping up when I check on it today.

Toppop, hope you are doing ok today.

38 going to 67...clear and calm so far. Yesterday the high winds ran me inside. I watched pine trees seem to explode with clouds of pollen.

Eric, beautiful pond and landscape.

Stay safe.

I've been putting off a trip to town since the 20th of March, and have a long list of things to get when I go next. One of the things on that list is more concrete, and I consider it essential, as it is supporting the solar power installation. So I'd say go, but make sure what you get is worth the risk.

FWIW, I'm reading more and more stuff saying that even an N95 mask won't stop CV, but it will keep you from infecting others if you are an asymptomatic infectee. But officials out here are also calling for N95 donations from anyone that has 'em. I keep a half dozen or so for working in the shop, and if I go out in public with one on, it'll be a well used, dirty one. Don't want anyone to get the idea that I'm hoarding.

And in the FWIW department, the New England Patriots used their team jet to fetch over a million N95 masks for medical personnel in their home town yesterday.

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:00AM. Abundant sunshine. High 69F. Winds light and variable.
Rain due in tomorrow, lasting through Monday. Time for more inside jobs...

If there's such a thing as reincarnation, a fella could do a lot worse than to come back as a dog and end up at one of your homes...

Thanks for the tip, Eric, but that would mean making a special trip to the store. Maybe next time?

Any water in that wishing well, Thomas?

Schools here won't open again until the fall, and staff are scrambling to put together distance learning programs as a substitute. I feel sorry for this year's crop of graduates, missing out on the ceremonies like that.

TGIF gang!:drink:
