Today? Not so hot.

I dropped Jake off at work, got my tires changed, and went shopping. The shopping at least, went well - shopping early on a weekday morning beats the PANTS off of trying to shop after work or on weekends.

But, I think I'm getting a sty in my eye - every few blinks I get considerable pain, since waking up this morning, and I haven't found or flushed out anything, even after copious tears at times.

And, we have radon*.

The general danger level, according to the EPA, is 4. We have 6.7 on our living levels and 34 in our basement.

The post I put together in my head the first time had copious swearing in this space.

The fix is expensive, and potentially a serious pain in the ass.

All this radiation and STILL no super powers.




*A common form of radiation that comes out of bedrock in many areas. Causes cancer. Nasty stuff.

I know, huh? I've got no super-powers either! Ugg. I hope this gets fixed with a minimum of expense and fuss!

My Mom's house had that but looks like we will have to abandon it as it would cost more than we have to bring it to building code standard & we can't legally move back there until we do. It will probably eventually be sold for car sales forecourt but MOM won't deal with it & I'm not well enough to cope with taking over her legal stuff.

Is it tanking or fan extraction you'll have to do?

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

We're going to try passive extraction first - the basement floor isn't sealed at all yet, so that alone might do it. Then fan extraction as a next step.

Good luck with it. Hope it works out a simple fix.

It made me giggle when I read my Karma report. 10 Karma for Digging up the Sky. Imagine me up a ladder with a spade :-D

I can picture it!! *laughs!*

Wow, hope you get the radon thing sorted out. Sounds like a huge pain in the arse. 8-(

Also, keeping my fingers crossed that the sty goes away! Only ever had one once, but that was enough. I wouldn't wish it on anybody!

Radon? I have to admit, that scares me some.

I hope everything will work out okay?

[autumnstar1.livejournal.com]

Yikes! Good luck with the radon, hopefully it'll work out so that it's not a huge PITA to fix.

Bummer, sounds like your having my kind of week.
