MORE RAIN !
Weather is calling for more flooded basements !
Can't imagine having to go through whats been shown on the news from a few weeks ago and now before anything can dry up more flooding on the way !

Last storm wasn't bad for me ... no water .. We kept getting little breaks in the down pour ,,, enough to run off ... If it's non stop like before that we're screwed ..  |

I shored up my shop by doing a little prevention....
... the basement/shop has flooded 5 times in a 30 year period.. twice in the last two weeks...
Last sunday, I cut the floor and installed a pump.. ran 50' of drainage pipe( under ground) out back for the pump to empty into...
this should be much more effeciant than the swimming pool cover pump and shop vac I used in the last battle...
I really feel for some of those folks.. for some, there isn't a pump big enough to stop the water from ruining their basements and in some cases their houses...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Crazy weather. Earliest ice out on Lake Winnipesaukee since records were kept, No snow in March in Michigan since records were kept. Are we in for a long hot summer or another rain out like last year?

I heard on the Weather Channel this morning that some places in the Hudson Vally could get up to 9 inches!
No obscene jokes now!

Gotta love the sandy soil of the Bournedale hills 
Soaks up 5" of rain like Speedi-Dry. |

Incredible!!
I feel fortunate to not have to worry about flooding where I am, but I drove past a pond today that looked really close to coming up to the street level. Crazy!!!

Let's not forget that with all this rain/flooding, we;ll soon be dealing with a tremendous mosquito population.
Keep in mind that there will be pools of water for the little bloodsuckers to reproduce in the billions.
I'm going to put up a bunch of birdhouses. Our feathered friends do a good job on skeeters during the day. I would like to put up a bat house (or 2) but I don't know if we have bats in our area.
I look for them when I'm out in the yard during the warm months, but I haven't seen one yet.
I am planning on a couple of water gardens in large containers, and if the mosquitos want to lay their eggs there, they'll just be feeding the fish that will be there too!
Keep dry!

You know what. I would RATHER HAVE SNOW!!!
I can deal with the snow. 3, 4WDs, a self propelled snowblower and a 4WD bucket loader tractor.
This non-stop s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up water in the basement SUCKS!! 37 years at this house and 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Never had a drop before. |
No boat, back in the suds.
