Hi Ed,

Great to hear from you. Yes, we had a very nice Thanksgiving with good friends here, missing only our loved ones at home.

The tanks, and the six others just like it, are big bulls to wrassle around, but we’re nothing if not stubborn. And in the face of limited options, self reliance has a reoccurring nativity.

Love to you and Dottie. see you at Christmas, I hope.

Dave,

What a job of moving the tank in place, let alone upright! You guys are something else, strong, persistent and outrageous!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

Hi Marjie,

Concrete or mortar has to be cured with water, so it doesn’t dry out too quickly and crack, and this floor finish needs a lot of it, so we just submerge it for a week or so. Thanks to you and Ray for the kind thoughts and good wishes.

The floors are beautiful. Amazing how things can be accomplished. I am interested in the process and why the water at the end to create the finished product? Wow, loved the dig too! My husband, Ray and I are thinking of you and the school there and hoping you have much success this trip.

Hold on Michael! I’ve got our crack foundation anti-sinking team on the way, picks and shovels in hand. We’ll be there before you know it, shoring up your sagging thoughts.

Billy, Tom, you and I. For sure. Xochimilco.

Thanksgiving love,

David
