Tuckered
Today began the washing/damp mopping of hot bleach water on the concrete floors in the basement. The stairwell closet has ceased with the seepage. Good deal. The cistern closet was also dry. Both were homogenized.
I had lowered the setting on our huge dehumidifier Sunday. In time it will be set to its usual which Complete Basements recommends at 52%. We are scheduled for them to check the sump pump system later on this spring. It has been so wonderful to be able to open the basement windows that Complete Basements of Mankato put in at the same time of the tile around the perimeter of the basement and the vapor barrier under the bathroom. What we really appreciated was going with Complete Basement for everything. One stop contact if something goes amiss. If the city’s system had not been overwhelmed, we would not have had any water problems in the large basement room, aka: my studio.
Dennis began mowing at 12:30 today. He has been by to re-fuel. I think his hinny will be ready for a break this evening. It’s easy to think there is another day coming for some additional mowing, but once Dennis starts, not so much.
After the damp mop was retired until more of the same tomorrow, it was oven dish prep. I had one bag of the rotisserie chopped chicken in the freezer. There was also a bag of pepperoni that was close to the “sell by” date. A can of white kernel corn and Alfredo sauce was folded into the sha-bang. One jar of sauce was not going to cut if for this batch. Pouring on only half of the jar of Alfredo, I poured into the jar some heavy cream and gave the jar several hard shakes. Folding all ingredients together for a good moist dish. Between butter and cream, you can never go wrong. As Dennis doesn’t care for pizza, this oven dish is close to a pizza. Pasta in exchange of a crust. In times past, Cassey’s had a chicken alfredo pizza. To top things off, I threw in a handful of sharp cheddar shredded. It made a huge batch, so I split the full blue speckled roaster contents in half so the freezer also has an offering for another time.
Folding the prep of an oven dish and mopping of concrete, I am going rest the arms to sit on my bright red reading chair for a bit of a break. It is a partly sunny day with 79 degrees.
