I wrote about our having space prepared for a new garage next to the house a few weeks ago.
This week the contractor and his crew were back to prepare the slab and footings before the concrete could be poured.
The inspector came and we passed.
Concrete should be poured soon.
The girls are not happy. They loved running and wrestling on the packed sandy surface. Now the wire and plastic have taken all of their fun away!
I am looking forward to this project being complete, not just because it will be nice to have a garage and storage for lawn and garden tools, but the sand we drag in is terrible. I am constantly sweeping, swiffering, or vacuuming, No matter how hard we stomp our feet, sand sticks to the soles of our shoes.
Lots of projects going on. Sand does have a way of clinging.
ReplyDeleteYes it does! And...it's time to vacuum again!
DeleteSounds like you live on a beach with sand but no water!
ReplyDeleteYou are actually correct. We are on a ridge of sand that was probably created by the Gulf waters when land was lower and the sea was higher. The good news is that because we are sandy, we. have little, mostly no, standing water and our mosquitoes are few and far between.
