I'm suddenly feeling both trepidation and pride that our 1920's kit house isn't having as many issues as yours is (and that we're missing them all because I have been avoiding doing things like staring too long at the mortar joints, lest I notice more things that cost too much to fix).

You're doing a good thing, man. Even if you sell the house tomorrow and move across the country you've just made it easier for the next poor sap to properly fix the house.

Good luck re-grading any of that until it dries out... good luck with it drying out.

You're doing great work though, man. What a job. I hope you get the value of your work back on this house when you move!

God drat, man.

At that point I would probably have given up and moved on to something more interesting and fruitful, like watching paint dry. You are a home-improvement HERO.

I suppose you could call that a win... the water's not spread all over your lawn any more!

It's spring; mud happens. If that drain keeps the worst of it away from the foundation I think you're doing well.

That's kind of terrifying. Don't get into any tiffs with meth heads, ok?

Also, nice progress being made! Thanks for the pictures.

I know how you feel. Every day I have off is a day it rains. I can't get the gardening done no matter how hard I try, and that window that needs replacing? Ha ha ha.

God, I hate weather. I can't wait until we all live in domes.*
