It Won't Stop Raining...

Enough of the rain already! I enjoy having a dry backyard.

Decision of the day to think about - how do we deal with the water ponding in the backyard?



The four fingers Matt is holding up refers to how many inches of water are in this particular spot. I think that is the most that was in any one spot of the yard, but it had definitely been higher than that.

Under the house was a similar story. I think it is a few inches of water there, but you can easily see that the water was much higher at some point in the day. Matt said this was still lower than the water from Ike and that event was still below the frame of the house.


So the big decision is whether or not we should raise the house. Either way we will probably need to re-level the yard and possibly install drains. Oh the joys of living in Houston...

Actually looking at these pic again - I think this was higher than the IKE water. And keep in mind we are 7 inches above normal rain fall this month alone. I think most of that was in the last 10 days.

You could stock it with fish and charge a small feet to fish out any that you couldn't eat.
