Sump Pump
Our sump pump has been running non-stop. The north side if the house looks like a lake. This afternoon Dennis disconnected the pump’s ability to pump to the north side of the house and put on a hose to run the water out to the street.
It may be quite awhile before we can wash off the patio. It has a layer of dried mud on it.
We have had a discussion about the patio porch’s floor. All that is left in the porch right now is the heavy buffet that we have used for storage as well as a television stand. When Dennis’ son Ken shows up tomorrow the buffet comes up and out. The over-head fans have been running. The carpet will be rolled and pulled out the pickup’s overhead garages door. Yuk. More mud. The wooden floor will need a lot of time to totally dry out. Dennis thought giving several coats of paint to the floor and forgetting about carpeting. That would really make it a lot easier to keep up with the livestock. Time will tell.
Our backyard still has some standing water on it.
This evening the news will be interesting in regard to Rapidan’s dam. At noon you could see the water running around the dam on the west end and take swipe after swipe of the dirt and trees as it fell into the rushing water to be carried away. Many years ago we took a car ride to the Rapidan dam area. It is quite the historic spot.
The laundry basket is empty with clean folded clothes to take us through the week.
With that I take my leave. ♥
