I hope that wasn't anywhere near you.

It's a mixture of sand, clay, and some good old "black dirt" called "Black Adobe" that doesn't drain very well.<br /><br />The drought has been bad enough the last five years that the soil has shrunken away from areas, and parts of the house have settled in a most disconcerting way.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-17878429110082411022017-01-12T17:37:44.457-08:002017-01-12T17:37:44.457-08:00As happy as we are that CA is finally getting some...As happy as we are that CA is finally getting some rain, I sorta wish it wasn't all coming at once. <br /><br />Glad you got that antenna issue sorted, as well.
