I'm lazy, just getting moving and it's 1130am already!

Not much on my plate today. I need to tackle laundry, pay some bills, then go dig through the freezer for something to fix for lunch.

Vonn, we have this lovely() red clay soil here in the south that soaks up rain like a sponge. We had a good bit of rain this fall so it was heavily saturated before the freezing temps in Nov and Dec started. For several weeks now our temperatures have not gone above freezing, so the ground is frozen. As the top layer of the clay soil freezes it expands. To top it off, our driveway was not done properly... it should be about 4 - 6 inches thick with steel rods placed in the mix to reinforce it. Ours is only a 2 inch shell of a thing. Did not notice that when we bought. Figures the builder cut so many corners in his houses...unfortunately AL is a buyer beware state. Don't get me started on the good 'ol boys in the inspection business.

to all
