Lake Alvin

If you read my prior post, you know my house was floating 2 inches higher than normal recently. That caused a host of problems. Thankfully, a carpenter took care of my front porch gaps (and removed all the ginger breading on my porch posts that I hated).


Unfortunately, that was the easy part. Another problem with raising the house 2 inches is that the workers dug up around my concrete piers to place their leveling jacks. However, they didn't put the dirt back when they were done. Bad thing is, they dug under my concrete skirting also, which created a hole where water from the recent storms created a lake under my house.


That took an afternoon under my house crawling in the mud to fill those holes back in. And you thought ACL was muddy. Ha!

Speaking of ACL, I only attended Sunday this year - mostly to see Pearl Jam (and The Dead Weather). Eddie V (not to be confused with this Eddie V) and crew did not disappoint. Ben Harper and Perry Farrell joined in for encores.




Is it me or do others also feel Mr. Farrell should stick to singing and not dancing.
