This morning I stopped at Home Depot in Franklin on my way to the farm. There I picked up a new pressure washer. I set it up and it did a fantastic job cleaning the footings. I had some errands to do in town while the footings dried, which took a few hours. Back at the farm I started on the task I had been dreading – sealing the foundation. The sealer is some kind of nasty black goop. It goes on okay on the footings and smooth block, but the textured block is an absolute nightmare. I thought I had mixed it well, but I must not have, because it was the thickness of peanut butter by the end of the bucket. Tomorrow I will buy a mixing bit for my drill. It was another hot and sunny day. I need to get this finished by tomorrow because it’s supposed to rain Thursday.
