A Man's Home

is His Castle, so they say.

(and that goes for A Woman too)

Well, we're not able to stretch to turrets or dungeons, but we do have a moat

No easy means of entry




except via a drawbridge. And we even have hay for the horses. That last delivery had us stymied. Hay? What on earth is that for?

Yesterday we had a wall of black, stinky tar-like substance put on the exposed and powerwashed foundation to act as waterproofing before the tile and rock go into place. It has to dry, and at this time of year, even on gloriously sunny days like today (hurrah!), that takes more than a day. With the high water table we have a bit of an oil slick that needs soaking up. Thus the hay.
