Colleagues,
MVP: When things deteriorate over time, it can be hard to recognize when they are close to failure. Pam and I have a rustic patio in our backyard made of locust trunks and covered with a wisteria vine. It has been up for tenish years and some of the logs supporting the vine over the top of the patio had deteriorated to the point they needed to be replaced. Last weekend, my friends Wes and Drew came over to help me redo the top timbers. It turned out to be a bit more involved than what I thought it would be, but that’s tomorrow’s message. When we were finished, I was amazed at the difference. The patio felt so much more open. The vine sat almost two feet higher than it had been before we replaced the beams. I realized the vine had been sagging badly for several years, but because it happened over time I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten. Things happen that way. They gradually worsen over time. Sometimes we don’t realize it until it is too late. Today’s intention: Take stock – is there a vine ready to cave in? Cheers! Frederick
