Wait, there's no rebar at all? Did you add fiber mesh to the mix?
Nope.

Not my property, not my plan..... my input only goes so far, if you get what I'm saying.
I thought "we" were just putting in trad footers at each corner. That's where the strength is in those things, so that made sense.
The morning I get there, he has these giant rectangles trenched out.
it doesn't really make sense, 90% of it isn't even touching the ground.
But that's when I finally understood why we were going to need two cement trucks...

I've stopped a couple impetuous bad calls along the way, we're 4th gear rednecking at this point.
Although I will say, we are within <1/4" corner to corner square, which is amazingly better than I thought we'd get.

He and I have been arguing about shit like this for 15 years, lol.
Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, and a couple times I've had to just walk away.

That's our process.

Had half a duck lip for a while. About to take a second benadryl.
Finally stopped burning about an hour ago.
Did I tell you last month Luigi got fucking absolutely swarmed by porch bees. They fuckin ran him off a block and he tried getting in the DOTCH. I locked the doors and told him to run off. I ran after him swatting him while getting stung and he ran towards some palm tree branches a block away. Meanwhile, they tried swarming me but I hopped into the bed and told Bologna to haul ass! We out ran them and I see my brother fighting for dear life, swatting the fuck out of the swarm. I tell him to hop on the bed while I hop inside. No benadryl, just whiskey. We got him good and drunk that night.

It was like being in an old cartoon.

Ive had to dive into a shallow creek, like trying to drown myself in a puddle, to get away from a ground nest I stepped on once. They weren't fucking around!

And I've told the "hippies vs beehives" from the commune before, that shit was a real life cartoon.

I'm ok with wasps. They sting harder than fuck but they I've never ran into a swarm. I get hammered and they don't hunt you down like bees do. These weren't after me. My brother would inch closer to the truck and boom they would come back for him. I could swear they could smell him.

Anyways, back to Fort Montaña. That thing you needed to grab once a year...

I request a window!

Status update. Haven’t been able to use this forum in a bit as every time I clicked it, it took me to Paige’s tits thread.

Trying to figure out what is causing that, was it coming to the forum in general or just to the off topic lounge?

Everything. No matter what I did. Granted, when that thread was created, I monitored it quite closely, but to send me to it every click was ridiculous.

yeah, there has been several people saying the same thing, not sure if it was a cache issue with the influx of new users, glad you were able to make it through.
