It's been a very rainy spring and summer.  We started working on our house - we're building a 15 foot by 16 foot addition.  It has rained SOOOOO much, that we are really behing schedule.  Even last night, August 28, 2011 we have water in the basement again.  I can't tell you how much extra laundry I've done with all of our flooding.  The walls are up, the roof is on.  We have windows, doors and a lot of cement in.  Al has pre-wired the addition as well as the garage, so we can have a dedicated line to our trailer.  Oh, the mud and all of the work.  I never anticipated it would be so hard.  We will just keep pursuing the dream.
