Another Crummy Day…

of water cleanup. I got the job by myself today since Ryan is working. Yay for me! The plastic on the gables helped quite a bit actually, but there was still a significant amount of water on the floors. I walked upstairs to find that because of the ridiculously strong winds, the plastic on the East side had come undone in places and needed to be fixed. I immediately got to work. The only thing I had was nails and a hammer instead of a staple gun…Ryan just happened to have the keys to the work trailer. So I used what I had. The wind was still blowing like crazy and it took all I had to hold the plastic in place while still holding a nail and hammering with the other hand. Needless to say, I hit my pointer finger once, and it was bleeding everywhere. I tried to ignore it because I knew I needed to continue my job…. All I could think of, what a nightmare this was!

The day didn’t get any better too quickly I started down the stairs and noticed that the rain was coming in the family room sideways. The stairs cannot get wet because the wood used for it will just fall apart…so I went and cut some plastic and was making my way down and was about on the 6th stair up when I fell and slid on my butt the rest of the way down the stairs (No, I didn't have my flip-flops on today). It hurt so bad! Again, tried to ignore the pain and started sucking up all the water the rain and wind had brought in with the vacuum. It didn’t ever get as bad as it had yesterday thank goodness. I made a few more trips down to suck up yet more water. Seriously, is this rain and wind ever going to stop?

Everywhere that is dark, it is wet! This was after I had cleaned up the water.

Bring over your suits! You can go swimming in our front yard! :)
