Wetness Outside, & Some Inside

I know what you're thinking: "What the heck is that?" Don't blame ya. Looks like a wet streak on the basement floor. It is, sort of - it's a drying wet streak, where Pete put down the self-levelling concrete, a very viscous cementitious mixture that seeks its own level so that the floor is nice and flat. Problem is, there's flatness and there's levelness. Stuff can be flat without being level. We're going for flatness here since the floor is all catywompus and it's really the best we can reasonably hope for. When the cementitious stuff seeks its own level, it flows into areas Pete wasn't thinking it would flow into, so he's having to use more stuff than he anticipated.
And more drywall work big time upstairs, including mudding in the bathroom. Pete's really sticking to the mission to get the upstairs ready for us as soon as possible.

Since it was raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock tonight, we decided to check out a movie at The Crest; "Mongol", the story of how Genghis Kahn became who he was from the ripe old age of nine when he selected his bride, to the beginnings of the most powerful army of all time. Check it out.
