Red Dirt! (I mean, sand)

Our brick flooring guy is really good and not too expensive. Except he’s slower than molasses. He started the project a full month after the contract said he would, and he’s been slowly working on it for a couple of more months. Which wouldn’t matter if we had lots of other things going on anyway, but if we’re paying rent because we can’t move in because we’re waiting for him – then he isn’t such a good deal after all. But at least he seems to know what he’s doing.

And he’s very local – meaning he really knows the local ways. Remember when our pink sand had too much dirt? Once he realized what we wanted, he went out and found red sand for us. I don’t know where he got it, but I can see red hills from the freeway on a local reservation. So it could be there or somewhere else nearby.

Red sand! (looks like dirt to me)
