Puzzler of the Day


Color buckets
Originally uploaded by radioflyer007
During the nine days between closing escrow on our house and moving in, Air Boss had managed contractors (at one point, four different trades were represented in one morning) as well as rolled up his sleeves in countless DIY home improvement projects.

One morning, we noticed all these buckets lined with trash bags and filled with water on our back patio.

Can you guess what they were used for?

Answer will be provided tomorrow. First person to respond with the correct answer will be mailed a $25 off IKEA coupon.

My guess is that they are being used either to test how much weight your patio will hold or to stabilize the support posts by pushing them further into the ground.

settling concrete or some such thing? Happy new house! :)

I'm guessing that the fact the buckets are lined with trash bags is a clue. The water must be for mixing something, maybe it will harden a little and you can lift it out with the bags. Perhaps you want them to hold the shape of the bucket....I will guess to mix cement.

Something to do with the new floors?
