We Have A Problem ... or Two or Three Actually!

The new concrete color problem goes from bad to worse.  The photo left (click on the photo for a larger view, then on the X to return to this page) shows how the concrete is now a faded and speckled color.  It seems there is a problem either with the colored concrete or the sealer.  There are faded places where I have tried to 'repair problems' which I created, or it has just gone speckled.

The concretor is still to get around and have a look.  It wasn't anything he did, just a problem with one of the products that were used. At this stage he expects to pop in later in the week.

It can be easily fixed with a coat of decent concrete paint.  Brian over the road will paint it for me at no charge.  I just have to buy the concrete paint.

Nothing more can be done until the concretor is available to get around here for a look at it.

Trish was just about to hurry off to Stitchers this morning when the garage door wouldn't open with the remote control.  We tried all three of the remotes, all unsuccessfully.  A guy is due around 'after 4pm' to have a look at it for us.  There is a manual over ride which I used to get the door open and for Trish to be on her way.

And finally the door bell is causing problems too, it only works intermittently.  When Trish went to open the garage doors this morning, the door bell rang!  So I have added a small washer to provide added pressure on the battery to the push button.  It has worked 100% ever since I added the washer!

The weather is clearing delightfully.  Though only a little under 25 degrees today, there is plenty of blue sky.  The sun has a kick in it now, more so than a few weeks ago.  We are expecting over 30 degrees on the weekend.
