Adventures in the rain

We get home, I walk in the door and it sounds like someone left a faucet on somewhere. In a way I suppose that's an accurate assessment.

Nature opened up the spigot and our gutters apparently forgot to unclog themselves. So just as it was getting dark, Skye and I climbed up on the roof in search of standing water to explain why there was water spilling from the can lights onto the bar downstairs. BTW, that can't be a good mix, water, electricity and booze....



We found what had become a four inch deep pond on top of our house and were able to clear out the downspout creating this spectacular waterfall and putting and end to the dicey light-faucet.

We'll see what surprises tomorrows storm brings.

At least this go around I am actually finding and resolving our water issues, as opposed to some of the mystery leaks of rains past.
