randomdreamsFriday evening I stopped by altamira16's house to meet Trish Zornio, who is running (along with a sea of others) to unseat Cory Gardner as one of our state senators. Trish is 36, has a PhD in neurobiology, teaches at CU, and is ferociously smart. She has an aggressive agenda, focused on science- and evidence-based policies, particularly concentrating on environmental and inequality issues.
Here she is, sitting under a LEGO Saturn V model, talking.
Sunset forelusis:
I posted a video of this on youtube, because there was a ferocious wind so the clouds were scudding across the sky.
Subaru says THIS IS SO A PARKING SPOT.
Buddha's Hand is in stock at H-Mart.
Every year for like fifteen years, my family has, for christmas, traded gift cards to a big local independent gift store, and then shortly after christmas, we all go, buy a bunch of books, go out to brunch afterwards, and show off our books and talk about why we got them, and make promises to share them when we're done reading them. Those promises often go unfulfilled, but oh well.
We had lunch this year in the restaurant that's adjacent to the bookstore, in what was the lobby of the old theater. We bought heavily off the a la carte menu, including two orders of compassion for a better world, but no orders for hope & a hug, because my family doesn't hug.
I have a house problem. The lower story of the house is concrete. More specifically, the garage is concrete: floor, walls, and ceiling. The ceiling slab was poured too thin, so water can migrate through the concrete to the rebar, rusting it, and as the rust swells the concrete breaks loose.
When I first noticed this, I started calling places that advertised concrete repair.
There are three types of concrete repair people locally: people who fix broken sidewalks, people who fix broken retaining walls and landscaping, and people who fix broken foundations. None of them have a clue how to deal with this, so I suspect I need to call a place that does old house restoration, and get them to find a subcontractor who does this.
My guess is they need to cut out the rebar, drill in a whole bunch of new holes and place rebar studs in those holes, then repour the middle part of this about 2" thicker, extending down into where the framing for the garage door is. I think there's plenty of room for that. Then I need to keep the concrete sealed so water can't get in.
