So, as I mentioned briefly in my last post, been thinking about giving up Twitter. In part, an easy decision, as everyone I actually followed or followed me was also on Facebook, which still allows me to post little status updates with my phone. However, when there are moments when 140 characters won't do, which gives this blog potential to have more frequent, albeit shorter posts when random things occur.
Such as today, when I get an email from Jackie letting me know that part of the carpet in our lower level is soaked due to all the rain. The water comes into the house from a particularly corner (this is the third time we have had this problem - always when there is a substantially above normal rainfall). I think the main problem rests with the downspout off the gutter - it shoots it out straight into the frontyard away from the house. Unfortunately, the water puddles there and slowly seeps back towards the house's foundation. I think I'll have to stop putting off that trip to the hardware store to pick up some more gutter spouts to try and redirect the water all the way down the front of the house to the side yard, where the ground actually slopes away from the house instead of towards it. With a house, there's always something to do...
