A dollar short




On Thursday Jeff, Andy, Jim and I poured another slab of concrete. This time it was for the water tank that sits just south of the farmhouse. In the muddy season the cows end up belly deep in mud just to get a drink. Over the summer Jeff constructed a really nice retaining wall using recycled pavers and we put the pad down to give a good base. If you will notice the last picture you will see that a couple of cliches could rightfully be employed here.

*We found ourselves a day late and a dollar short
*If it could go wrong, it will go wrong
*One brick short of a load (wait I think that means something else)
*Here's one for the Cub fans - better luck next time.
