Thursday, March 10, 2011 A Patch of Grass A picture of little interest, except that a patch of exposed grass is showing. It will be a while before the rest of the yard catches up, but it's a start.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011 Caught Between Seasons Monday brought more vacuming and bailing. As the day progressed, the rain changed to freezing rain and light snow with temperatures dropping into the teens F. Over Saturday and Sunday a lot of snow melted, but an equal amount still remains.
Sunday, March 6, 2011 Spring-ing A Leak It began raining sometime in the night and has continued all day. Not good. While the enormous snow pack has diminished noticeably (good) a lot of it is running under the threshold into the basement (not good). Now I know why the former owner left a shop vac and industrial mop in the basement. My estimate is that I've vacumed approximately 50-60 gallons of water today.
