And yes, please come back again some other day. With the rain we’ve been having, this house ain’t never gonna get built. Here’s a snapshot of the radar from about a week ago:

See all that red? That’s rainfall of more than 4″ in a single day. I don’t think we got 4″ of rain in all of 2013 combined! According to the latest data I found, in November and December we had more than 12″ of rain. That’s just astounding. . . And there’s more rain in the forecast for this weekend. I know we need the water — we desperately need the water — but couldn’t the rain just hold off a little until we get the roof on??

As you can imagine, there’s been very little progress since the last post. I suspect in the week I was gone on vacation, nothing at all happened. I’m taking deep breaths and trying to be patient, but it’s tough.
