We got hit w/ the remnants of a typhoon from Japan yesterday and man was it a nasty storm! Ben Lomond recorded over 10 inches of rain in a 24 hour period. I knew when we moved up here that BL seems to get the most rainfall in this area, but damn! There were high winds too, with gusts up to 50 mph. Luckily the worst has past and we just have a few showers continuing right now. The bad thing is that because of all the rain, the roof leaked in a few spots. D has been out of town on business, so I had to ride this one out all by myself here. We had no power for most of yesterday but it finally came back on in the middle of the night. Thank God we didn't lose everything in the fridge and freezer, I just went shopping a few days ago. The roof did stop leaking on it's own too, but I still have a roofer coming by today to check it out. More of that joy of homeownership stuff I tell ya!
But aside from that, everything has been going pretty well. We did finally stain the front door and it looks amazing, I'll post some pics of it soon. We have our gutters on order and those will hopefully be up before the next big storm hits. Next month we have a few friends coming out, so we'll be sure to exploit their labor in exchange for couch surfing! ; )
