The rain is raining all around
It falls on field and trees.
It rains on the umbrellas here,
and on the ships at sea..
AND MY ROOF DAMMIT....
Rain has probably delayed our house building by 3 1/2 weeks. We, by rights, should have been dried in for over a week. We have had to put off the Sears delivery of our appliances three times and the roofers may or may not be able to put the membrane on today so that we can proceed with our windows which have been waiting silently in the Home Depot warehouse...
AND, RONNA IS GONNA WIN!!! ARRGGGGGHHHHHH!

We built during a drought. Finished in six months--two days before our construction loan would have started to accrue penalties.
ReplyDeleteAnd practically the day we moved in, October 11 of 2002, it started to rain, and rain, and rain--and we had 3 times the average snowfall that winter.
If it makes you feel any better, a month after we moved in we had an ice storm and a tree fell across the roof of the front porch of our brand new house. Later that winter, just hours before we were heading to Mississippi for something or other, we had literally a waterfall running down the wall in our dining room due to melting ice and damaged flashing.

I thought I had replied to this, but apparently not.. That happened to us too, in the country home. An ice storm had blocked the gutters creating a dam which backed the rain up under the shingles and consequently we had a lovely cold rainfall in our house.
