I Guess That’s Why They Call It Concrete
Posted on | August 5, 2008
Two hours of drilling with a masonry bit sank the necessary holes to mount the Skamper-Ramp®, which is supposed to prevent li’l critters from drowning in the Cement Pond™. In retrospect, I probably could have finished the job sooner by bearing down harder with the drill, though it’s a tricky balance between making no progress and heating the bit so fiercely that the chuck can’t hold it. But for the sweaty job of boring the concrete (and boring the Sarge, too), it’s a snap, with only a couple of knots in washers to support the thing. We’ll leave it in place as shown when we’re not around, and just flip it out of the way for swimming.
Our own varmints are never near the pool unsupervised. This installation is meant to protect the International Brotherhood of Bunnies, Local 318.

[...] It took poor John two HOURS to drill the anchor holes in the concrete. We’re both quite relieved to have it finished. [...]
