Cement Patching 101

You would think that perhaps we would have patched the cement on the porch when it was nicer out. A little warmer. Some sunshine. That sort of thing. But, no. Apparently we are a bunch of cement ding dongs and we thought waiting until it is just above freezing, with glacial winds whipping around us would make the project easier. DUH!
In my defense, I kept trying to get the guys to patch the porch all summer. The edges where the wheel chair always runs over had big holes and were getting bigger. I figured that one more winter of that and the whole porch would drop off and then how the heck would we get Larry in or out?
I had been covering the major craters with outside rubber backed carpets, so, it kept major ice from forming in the holes, but still...Porch, dropping off the house...not a good idea.
So, there were Phrog and I, 3 times in the last week, filling in holes and cracks. Hopefully it will all cure and last through the winter.
I have to tell you, Larry and I are both not missing getting up at 5:30 and out the door by 6:15 am to get to dialysis 3 days a week, and now that it is starting to get cold, we are even happier.
And gas is $1.92 a gallon today!
