Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 10, 2024

I dare not ask what for ….

If the shoe fits..

Joel is doing very little to cement his relationship with Janice.

I know where Janice would like to “encase” Joel.

His wife looks like she is ready to throw in the trowel.

Love concrete projects. I was pouring a large porch in the mountains. Rebar included a large car bumper found on the highway.

Don’t try to get on Joel’s calendar, he’s got concrete plans for the weekend.

Good morning Balladeers!

Base for a Fountain?

Speech Pedestal?

Sealing in Scooter’s Hazardous Waste?

From the look in Janice’s eyes, the beginnings of a Bunker?

Nice detail with the knee pad, shows Joel is a pro.

Making overshoes for noisy neighbors again, Joel?

Joel plans on naming his property Portland Acres.

She does a lot of reading!!

If Joel steps on that trough, he’ll be “set up” for a while.

He’s making a walkway to the front door. One step at a time.

How is Joel with mortar—say, for bricking someone up in a cellar? Asking for a friend…

if he has some colored glass beads mixed in that will make a pretty stepping stone. Let is set a bit then use the water hose to wash away the fines on top. Trowel a bit.

He’s making one patio block a weekend. He’ll be done in, oh, 2077?

the neighbors all say joel is cemental…

☺

Joel is very set in his ways.

Good evening, Ballard Dears!

Or, as we describe and refer to Joel, “cementheads.”
