Days turn into weeks and then months, Repairs are ongoing on the homefront and our home is starting to take shape. It didn't look bad from the outside but once the flood garbage that washed up and fresh stain on the decks , mowed what lawn there is and relandscape a bit things are starting to take shape. Throw in a new roof on top of everything, Might as well go for broke. It is an ongoing process. Our grass is all but dead and over taken by weeds, the waterfront yard has 8" ruts from sunken tires from the heavy equipment as the sand bags were taken out. I hauled soil tried to level it out and threw on grass seed that is now taken. I have a funny looking yard but hope to at least hold off the sand at bay,.
Ben has been working day and night cleaning up the crawl space, wiring and add a new pump as well as trouble shooting all sorts of interesting developements, We are pretty well spent but continue as the summer is short and each time we move ahead we have a new list created.
I suddenly realized that so much time has been spent in sorting out flood related problems that my housekeeping is not up to snuff, It is to thunderstorm and rain all day tomorrow so is the perfect time to clean the house. Then again so much time has been spent outside we are not having too much backlog of dust and grime and lucky for me we are trained to pick up after ourselves, I did find that I needed to do laundry last night late at night as I discovered the old boy didn't have any underwear for the morning. Where does time go??
