It’s been some challenging days. I
can make do with spotty electricity, water, and heat. But the internet started working
intermittently on Monday. When I called Verizon
about FIOS (calls of 40, 20, & 10 minutes duration for service troubleshooting),
I was told that there was a network outage in this area. It’s hard to work from
home without an internet connection. I am thankful for friends who allowed me to
use their internet. It sure beat sitting
outside the library (closed) and starbucks (forgot money) using the wifi
connections there.
Internet wasn’t the biggest dragon
encountered. In using a bobcat to remove the patio, the driver, Adelino, snagged a piece
of rebar embedded in concrete. It was the cover of a brick-lined well—probably the
water source predating the current water pipes. A neighbor mentioned he also found
a well in his backyard during a home renovation. Between the well discovery and
the bad foundation and footings around the kitchen, it has been some
discouraging days.
Daily demo death toll: 2 trees and a
bush. Today's rain is churning the dirt into a mud bath.
