The great flood of 2008 (as they're calling it here in NB) has given Jon and I pause as we prepare for our renovations to kick off. We're quite thankful that we don't have a basement currently, as our neighbors have been pumping water out all around us for the past day or so. They say floods like these only come every 100 years, don't they?
Hopefully the soggy ground won't impact all the digging our crew will need to do. And as I've been watching the water creep toward the house, I'm mentally factoring in more and more sill damage... I've included a link to pics taken at 8:30 and 11:30 this morning of the growing flood pool in our yard. It's currently about 6 feet from the house, and seems to be easing up. For once I'm feeling lucky that this project hasn't started on our original target date of May 1!
