FIX... Fix... fix...  Every now and then I get a stupid idea to "FIX" something. I'd had a small chip out of a corner of a slate block in my kitchen floor. I was dumb and didn't take a "Before" picture.  I mixed some oil based multi-purpose Black Enamel paint with some Portland Cement.  I leveled in the chipped area. Then cleaned away the excess. Once it is cured I will clean the edged area better.  I set a chair over the repair to keep our quadrupedic family from walking on the repair until it is dried.\ > > > > > > > > > >>>>>>> ADDENDUM <<<<<<<<<<  After 10 days and MANY loads of dishes NO LEAKS to my repair. |

I don't think anyone has driven on our road. We've only gotten 3-4" of snow but it is blowing and drifting. I had the fireplace roaring but the gas furnace has kicked on several times to maintain a reasonable temperature in this old dump. Current temp is -7 F ... -21 C and very gusty winds.

Good thinking on the tile repair. I have done similar fixes on various things. It's the power of inventive thinking.

I had to drive to the city twice today because of an oversight on someone else's part. I finally found some celery, but still could not find eggnog. Now I am broke and there is almost no gas in the yellow taxi, so I am not going anywhere until the end of Jan. It was -35C this morning with a wind chill of -50C. As of 4:11 pm it is -29C, with a stiff SW wind. Not very pleasant out, but at least the sky is sunny. I will be having ham fried rice for supper at 5:00.

This site is responding extremely slowly today. Wonder if the cold weather across the nation is affecting it's performance.

When you're done there, I have a laundry room floor that needs to be replaced. Too cold to work on it now!! Temp right now is 13F and the chill factor is -6 below!! My furnace hasn't shut off since I turned it on. Lost power today at 10:30AM and didn't get it back till 5PM. Temps here dropped from 42F to 20F in about 2 hours once the Arctic blast hit, the same time I lost power.

Nice little patch up I like doing stuff like that

OMG !!!!!!! I Hope you didn't freeze up any waterlines! I've kept the fireplace ROARING like the Burnin of Atlanta!

Nope, no frozen water lines, I kept going over to the kitchen sink and running the water to make sure of that. LOL, a few years ago my hot water line froze up. Plenty of cold water, but no hot water to take a shower!
