Rain Day - June 22

I know everyone was thrilled to finally have some rain, but if you don't have a roof yet... it's not so good!



After my daily 11 mile ride, I went back to the property mid day to oversee that the framers were there and that the plumber showed. Well, this is what I found, silly me! We have sub floors on each floor, it never dawned on me without a roof, the rain still seeps thru.



My great room and kitchen were flooded!
I swept and swept for about an hour.
Then after totally drenching my shoes, socks, clothes, and hair I got an idea and headed to Academy and found exactly what I needed. Cute boots and a cheap poncho!




After about 5 hours of hard labor each room on the main floor looked liked this. Luckily one of the builders (Angel) and he is, went to the 3rd floor and swept the water from there that kept leaking onto this floor. I thought about climbing the ladder (no stairs to that floor yet), but the little voice in my head said, "If you get hurt, Steve will kill you."

The rain stopped, the subflooors were "less wet", the plumber did show. The framers were a no show, man are they gonna hear about it tomorrow! Actually I am hoping that all the hard work I did today will make them alittle humble.
God is good! We needed rain and we got it. It made a mess, but He helped me to manage it.
