Well what more can you say…
about rain…except the word flooding…again early last evening it started again..this is the second time in 6 days with rain in-between almost every day ….street flooded covering grass on the other side of the street…
A river running down my sidewalk I was standing on the porch taking this…
A lot of this water is run off from the street that is above us…we live on a slight hill more like just a slow rise..but enough to cause a lot of problems when it rains this hard or for prolong time….I live in a hundred year old house…on an old sand stone foundation…that is what they used back in the day…so I have a wet basement…very wet when this happens…I put dry lock on the walls in the last two years and that helped a lot…but still gets wet…when the ground is flooded out side and looks like a lake… I have fans and a dehumidifier running all day every day.neighbors posted about the problem on their face book page…so it is just not me….these old houses were all built about the same time…
Flowing like a river my sidewalk..
Maggie pic of the day…
Or should I say night….this was her the other night after we got into bed…it was just to cute I had to grab my phone and take it…it was a little dark not the best pic ….some how she got herself all balled up in the quilt ready for bed…she just laid there looking at me..”ok I am ready lights out please” she closed her eyes just as I took the pic…to cute….
The rest of the story….
I have been slowly painting the wood work and cabinets…I paint awhile then go and elevate my legs…I am sure some of the positions I get into on and off the ladder are not good for them…cant wait until this is all done…so I can have some fun this summer…(rv-ing)….along with other stuff….I was so happy getting the rig fixed and easy fix at that…no $100 per hr. with 1 hr. min…he said it would only take 30 min and that was it..he charged $35 for diagnoses & labor..and $20 for parts…if you are ever in Northwest PA and have a problem you have to check this place out…Wagner's in Greenville…they have been here as long as I can remember….even have their own machine shop….this after my $200 oil change….you bet while in FL I will be looking for someone else…even if I have to travel..spend the night…who cares…it will be a fun spending time at a campground…if I am going to spend money like that I might as well try and find a fun time doing it…Well as I sit here typing this…the sun came out!!! sure hope it stays around a while…but the forecast is for rain every day..I guess this moisture is a continuation of the wet snowy winter…it can stop anytime now….I will start my painting now before I run out of steam…thanks for looking and come back soon
blessings to all G&M
