The rain has been making up to the Interior and over the Rockies as well into Alberta.

I'm so glad it didn't inconvenience you, and way happy for the interior!

It was a pretty soggy Thursday but a very dry Friday. Suppose to be a little more rain tomorrow. Have to see then maybe dry out again for Canada Day on Monday.

Trenched out the back of my garage today. Pretty damn hot day to be doing it, but I don't argue when my brain starts telling my body to get back to work.

At least it rained the day before. Its really perfect timing doing it right now. The ground is wet enough to make digging fairly simple, but it's not so wet that you can't get the mud off the roots as it was when I was doing the fence.

We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. Much cooler outside for sure. Would love to get the side of the garage done.

Don't imagine I'll be doing much digging today. I'm going to mow the lawn though. Will be the first time doing that when it's not in the high 80s or mid 90s for a while, so that's nice.

Today was the last (sixth) morning for yardwork. Even tho I can only do about 1 1/2 hours each morning, I need a break! My knees and back are feeling the work.

So I start on indoor work, where I can sit down

This coming week, there are doctor's appts literally every day except July 4, but since there are TWO appointments on July 3, I guess that makes up for the holiday.

We start tomorrow with dog's dental surgery, and I had quite a time finding a vet that does dental X-rays and dental surgery that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

OK! On with indoor projects!

Out to get a couple of things done in a bit. Taking my umbrella with me as there are a lot of clouds around and it could mean rain.

Thanks SIG. It wasn't a bad day at least it stayed dry for all the festivities.

Well... I didn't trench anything out yesterday...

So I missed both the cool days to do that work. Guess I'll do it in the heat then.

I'd like to get the side of the garage down to the point of the driveway where I'm going to make the decision on how I want to carry that runoff down to the curb. It would be impossible for me to explain the situation there without pictures, but there's a low point on the driveway close to the overhead door on that side that pools up water when it's raining really hard. I'm hoping to be able to alleviate that in some way on that side without having to dig to put corrugated pipe underground.

The plan is to promote water leaving that area instead of staying put until the sun dries it. I think after I do what I'm doing it could possibly end up putting more water in that spot during the rain storm, but once the rain stops and things are moving around my hope is that it allows the water to drain away from there quickly instead of just sitting there for a day after a rainstorm. I haven't noticed any further shifting of my garage slab after I used Watertite on the cracks in the floor and outside on the slabs about 4 years ago, but I want to keep it that way.

Unlike the other side of the driveway/garage that meets up with the Bermuda Triangle where I intend to do a lot of drainage work, I'm hoping this is not necessary at all on the other side. If it weren't for that low spot in the driveway it wouldn't be for sure. The only water I'm trying to bring away on this side is the stuff that doesn't get caught by the gutters on one side of the garage and everything that falls on the driveway about 6 feet in front of the garage before it breaks down to the street. I don't imagine it's going to need too much persuasion like that mess on the other side is going to.

High is only 85 today, so not too bad. It's really cloudy out now too, so that would be nice if it stays that way until I'm finished. Haven't been outside yet, but I imagine it is probably really humid just from how everything looks out there.

Stay hydrated.
