RAINY DAYS AND FRIDAYS, et al

 
Moon Garden stars is all quilted!! 

I need to trim her up,  but that will have to wait
along with the binding, until my back recovers
from vacuuming and other household chores
I did this morning...

Here is the little boat's prow
splashing through the quilted waves..
I just really loved working out
this pattern from Jan Patek...
so rewarding....
:))))

***************************
On the weather front: 
we are having a lot of rain...
T O N S....

Tom has dug a channel
for a proposed pipe drain to take
the water (which rushes down our
driveway into the garage) away 
from the house.  Today houses have
to be built with a slope on all sides
away from the house to prevent this
type of problem we are having...

This, of course, is  a
temporary fix.....
↧↧↧↧
We also need to divert that water from 
the corner downspout away from the 
propane generator...

A work in progress...
Tom loves doing these projects and
is really good at figuring them out.
;))))
[I tried to upload a video during
the heaviest rain coming
down the drive, but 
blogger wouldn't do it!!]

Here is the sloping driveway into our garage
We had that drain put in to 
alleviate this problem,  but it 
won't divert enough water during 
steady downpours to stop it
coming into our garage and then seeping
into the cellar...;(((((

This morning at one point the rain rate
was 5.1"/hr!!! 

It seems that there is always something
regarding house maintenance,
isn't there????

******************************
Now the sun is breaking through 
and 
OOPS--raining AGAIN--
👺👺👺
straight down heavy rain...
filling that channel..
which is working to
take the excess water away 
really well...
good job, Tom...:)))

I am 
finishing up my 2nd cup of coffee while
resting the back for a bit...
while Tom is at his 3rd PT appointment,,,,

Stay dry and safe
