More Pozo Blue Sage

I planted a few Pozo Blue sages out front this weekend. Hoping these will do better than the backyard versions.  They like more sun, less water. 

This one is in front of a marvelous cat mint.

Bandage Off

No foot swelling or problems. Just a small bandage now. Sutures come out this week.
 

Restoration Day#2

Paul finished framing out the wall and made the cover for the pump. Drywall went up and you can see how wide the new window shelf is now.
 

Restoration Day#1

Handyman Paul came today and framed out the new wall. He's also building a box around the pump's cistern. It also means the narrow shelves around the window will now be 4" wider.
 

Bruce's Piñata

The big 71 for Bruce over the weekend. A bunch of friends got together and watched him bat aound a moose pinata. "Moose" is Lindsay's nickname for her husband.

 

Water Diversion

During the winter we had water pouring into one of the downstairs bedrooms. 

In between storms we had a french drain installed that regrettably did nothing to stop the onslaught.

The guys came yesterday and installed a drainage system to catch and pump out any invading waters. Jack hammering a canal and then installing a baseboard water capturing system. Not the prettiest of things but better than what we went through several times last winter.

On Monday the dry walling and framing take place.
