This ice storm was in February 2013.
And this year? No snow or ice. At all. Nothing. Maybe that doesn't seem odd to you, but ponder this. It's been so warm that the tree frogs (alias peepers) are sing outside right now. It's only 43F right now and I hear peepers singing. The wasps are out already. And the lizards and garter snakes. Very odd, if you ask me.
I've been working on the floor inside the Hobbit House. I've been scrapping off concrete that fell through the mesh when they were working on the dome. I need to remove this mess before we can put any tile down.
Joshua was working on the french drain for a few hours yesterday. That is damn hard work. Shovel and bucket work. He's removing clay from around the concrete pad so the drain tube can be laid down. Then gravel will cover the drain. We have the sealant that we will cover the dome with, as a rubber barrier. This will waterproof the dome, so we can bury the whole structure.
We'll work on the inside during the summer. The interior will be cool in the summer, nice for working on the interior walls & putting tile down.
I made a Pinterest board for the Hobbit House, if you'd like to check it out. Here's a link:
