Once again, my street is closed but this time it is the west side of University. Detouring still required to get west of course but north and south are accessible.
I thought that was as exciting as the day would be but Jan called just before noon. She was feeling pretty good and suggested that we go to The Quilt Show at the Springville Museum of Art. It's a tradition with us, just like the tulip festival at Thanksgiving Point. I was picking her up at 2 so she could grab a quick nap.
Our first clue should have been that there were not very many cars in the lot. We walked to the door with the women that had pulled in right behind us. Door was locked. Museum not open on Mondays. Heavy Sigh. Three of the five of us knew that but hadn't remembered that it was Monday I guess.
Dropped Jan off, tentatively scheduled for tomorrow. If I had come to the computer which sits on the kitchen table, I might have noticed another clue.
A leaning umbrella...
The big dog needed to go out and I had seen what looked to be two more cucumbers as I looked out the window. Yes, there were two more cucumbers and as I was lifting leaves to see if there were even more, I heard Min make a sudden move on the deck, like she was slipping. Not uncommon for her but why?
It's a little hard to tell but the deck is falling off the house. You can see in the first picture it has dropped about 6-8 inches. The second picture shows the angle of the railing to the house.
I have since moved the table and chair ever so carefully because it doesn't feel very secure and then I noticed this:
Right where my toe is the planks are separating. Above the line is even with the planks that butt up to the house. Hopefully that will not be larger in the morning. There will be a deck man here tomorrow morning to see what should be done.
So, I wonder what my blood pressure reads now.
