Looks like we'll have enough cement
for free to do all the fence posts
including the 4 by the driveway.
My step-dad found three bags of
80 pound quikrete in his shed
he'll never use. Those 3 plus
the 4 bags we're getting
off Freecycle should cover it.
They run about $4 a bag times
7 bags. So we will be saving
$28+ in cement with these freebies!

Back in the dungeon again.
I wish a magical genie would appear,
snap his fingers and all this crap
would be done down there!!

Moving bookshelves around and
putting things in the storage
room from the larger room to get
it out of the way.

I wish I could feel like I was
making some kind of headway down
there. All I see is more and more
hard work! Once I get this basement
done and someone leaves something
tore up, not put back or out of
place, they better look out
because mama will be on a war
path!! I could very easily turn
the basement into mom's getaway!

I'm calling it quits for today in
the basement. I'm wearing out
lifting up heavy boxes and totes.
Here I was worried about not having
many boxes or totes. Now I have
tons of empty one after weeding out the stuff
from them.

Now time to think about what to have
for supper. I have a pound of
ground sausage thawed out so it
will be something made from that
whether it's a Hamburger Helper
or sausage biscuits and gravy.

Just back from checking out the
4 bags of cement. That didn't go
as planned. The only thing those
bags were good for was some huge
paperweights! They were all hard
as rocks. The lady didn't seem too
happy that I didn't want them.
Come on now, why would I wanna
load 4 huge 80 pound cement bricks in the
truck to drag home and do nothing with.
She knew we were building a fence
and if they were no good what did
she really expect me to do with them.
