What happens when you have high winds and driving rain? Bad stuff! First of all, the vent pipes from the bathroom vents...you know, the ones that were never really sealed like they should have been?...yeah, those....spring a slight leak. Fortunately, the leak was very slight, but just enough to leave a water mark on the bathroom ceiling so you know that there is a problem. God is gracious! I called our wonderful realtor who helped us buy the house. This amazing brother in the Lord called another wonderful brother in the Lord who came, climbed and conquered! Given that the pitch of our roof is pretty steep, the vent pipes are on the back side of the house and the drop from roof to ground there is quite a bit further than in the front (where we have the gently sloping porch roof to slow the slide), Uncle Mark wisely decided not to try and fix this. Tommy stepped in, fixed it and charged us 1. a dozen eggs 2. a jar of peach jam 3. a jar of apple pie filling 4. some really good prayer time. Tommy is now a friend for life!
The second problem was a little more serious to the garden. I walked out the morning after everything finally calmed down only to find this, which we had filled up more than is shown here....
...had become this....
We were able to salvage most of it, but we did lose a pan of lettuce and a couple of the heirloom tomatoes. Ouch!
