Mabel & Galusha

Depending on whom you ask, the pour went OK, badly, or terrible. At first I was of the former group, and now I'm waiting til the architect comes back, to gauge his reaction and then determine how much worse I should feel. I'm missing all my usual barometers. The builder was grim on Friday, and the best thing he said was, shaking his head, "It's a helluva repair job." The concrete guy came by later, and said worse. To reprise one of our infamous headlines, Now the accusations fly. It seems the inspector's taking the brunt.

I'm wondering, given this and the the problem-plagued porch at the old bungalow, maybe I have some kind of concrete hex? But how could that be, given my family's historic ... foundation in it?

Argh.
