Rain and Flood Days (no fun): June 28-June 29, 2008

OK, so we knew there would be issues during the development project. Our friendly neighborhood developer has been very responsive so far and we have "grinned and bared" all the issues to date. unfortunately this weekend was a milestone (I have been using that for work to date) for our patience!

Hot (and odd) late June weather brought not a whole lot of fun for Chez 311 as water came off of 312 23rd Street in buckets.

Little water falls from weep holes in the brick and the airspace between our home were funny until it began to pour...and the basement (not just the foyer) and our finished 1/2 bath got quite bit of water.

A few angry calls to our friendly neighborhood developer's supervisor and then to the new 3rd floor of 312 23rd Street to make a "make shift roof" for the area over the air space between the buildings (thank God for rigid insulation and bricks).

The following day was still hotter than hell and the deluge brought more rain, some seepage, but not as bad as the day before. And handy work by us to make a Rube Goldberg-esque anti-rain/waterfall sluice device to shed the water away from the new building and our home. Whew!

Now, figure out a fix...and fast, since it's supposed to rain the next few days and all during the 4th of July holiday. Fun, fun, fun.

Unfortunately the last week in June brings lots of hot weather and rain...and floods. Fun waterfalls at first, bummer floods and seepage at the end.
