Spring 2006 all OVER AGAIN.....

Those of you who came to our wedding ( from outside NH) will probably remember how it rained nonstop the whole weekend. For those of us that live in NH we remember how it it rained and rained and rained some more the entire month of May last year- But it was particularly bad mothers day weekend or the weekend of our wedding with lots of flooding everywhere and everyone complaining of water in their basements. Well its like Deja Vu !!!
Its supposed to be springtime in NH and of course its flooding again. What the weather forecasters predicted as a Nor'easter has turning into a Monsoon. Its rained Non stop for over 24 hours and very heavily at times- Leaving us with several inches of rain to contend with-
This morning when we woke up it was still raining heavily- we checked our basement as this is the first "major ' storm since we have owned our house and we found some water in our basement- Not alot- just one corner with about 1/2 inch of water- We vacuumed it up and thought we were doing pretty good- Low and behold it has finally stopped raining and now there is water coming in in the basement in 3 spots- 2 of them heavily-. Mike and his dad have been down in the basement vacuuming up water and plugging up areas of the concrete ALL day...
The joys of home ownership.... :o( Luckily nothing is ruined b/c everything down in the basement is either up on wooden blocks or in waterproof containiners- Thank goodness for Rubbermaid containers.
The east coast weather is really starting to bother me... maybe its time to think about moving somewhere warm and dry- like southern California maybe or New Mexico...
Both Mike and I took the day off today- Our last day off together was several months ago..... What a way to enjoy your day off!! Hope everyone else's day is better than ours...
