Hole in ground hole in pocket.

I was right. Big Big checks. Need to redo electrical. Need to redo plumbing. All from scratch. This hurts.

I'm having a tough time. Home used to be my release. It balanced out all the crap that happens at work during the day. Now what's left of my sanctuary is itself adding to the stress.


Little blue holders for foundation bolts. These are really cute in person. I'm currently grokking on them. I dig them.


Another hole. This one will be home to the concrete pads that hold up the outside staircase. I'm assuming the trench may be for the new electrical work also. Over budget. I'm scared.


The piles of dirt keep growing. To think, just last month, I was scrounging for extra dirt for the garden.
