Well, It was beautiful on our camping weekend and not a bit of rain. NOT so lucky on the home front. We got home Sunday afternoon and could tell they had gotten a lot of rain while we were gone. The puddle in the back yard had turned into a lake and the yard was very squishy again. we were already 7-8 inches over normal for this point of the year. (after a record snow fall) I checked the basement in all the corners Sunday evening and all was dry. About 7pm a big thunderstorm came through dumping almost 3 inches on us and when we got up Monday morning the basement was under water. YUCK!!!!!! The sump pump quit working in the night and we had/have a mess. All the unopened boxes and such were soggy and falling apart. We hauled everything into the garage and pulled up the carpet and ripped out the padding. All the carpet is up on saw horses and 2x4's stretched across chairs with about 6 fans running non stop. We were running the AC to try and help the stuff to dry out but the garage drain is clogged(AC water can't drain there now) so we had to call the plumber. He is supposed to be here this morning but it is now almost 11am and no sign of him. GRRRR I have to go clean house for someone at 1 pm so I may have to call and reschedule. It's just not been a lovely start to a new week.
Forecast says thunderstorms today, tomorrow and Thursday. Lord help us!
