Spring Break

New sod for the yard.

We ended the morning one roll of sod short.

What should have been a straightforward rewiring and installing a new vent fan in the wall dividing the crawl space under the house from the crawl space turned into a nightmare of...

Water.  That's standing water, not dusty concrete.  Two inches or so, 1600+ gallons, sitting under our porch.  No wonder our basement reeks of humidity at times.

2 days and many hours later (God bless my husband and our friend Steven),

after this picture was taken,

DH dug a hole in the muck for a new sump pump.  How could the previous owners just pop in a fan and call it good?

Life should have cut us some slack at this point, so we packed to head to the family cabin for a few days.  Two hours into the drive, we received a phone call that DH's Nana was dying and we needed to come say goodbye to her.  Given, we were "sorta" on the way to DH's family base of Dallas, but our being in Tulsa added 2 hours to the trip.

No cabin anyway, apparently, as the well has not been repaired.  Nana is still hanging in, but we are all praying for a peaceful death for her, as her status is not one from which one recovers in this life... but we pray for her life to come, as it will be amazing!

Long spring break.  'Nuf said.
