Yesterday’s wild weather — lots of sleet followed by even more rain — left wet basements all over Stratford, including mine. Tony the carpenter came to assess the mess, immediately cancelling all plans to close the open section of wall until the concrete is dry and another wet-basement expert has opined on it. His favoured expert says he’s swamped with calls — as is Tony — but will try to “swing by” tomorrow. So there’s tomorrow’s agenda gone poof.

I’m less and less confident that the house will be ready for the market by Easter.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, it’s tax time in Canada, too.
