That's pretty close to the monsoon you was wanting the other day....

 

[Jetmd]

Last one, why?

Because you can never have too much ammunition!

 

[Hedgerow]

Yup..

We don’t need any more right now.

 

[Hedgerow]

There was an additional .5” in the gauge when I got back to the house.

Good morning Steve,

More than a month dif! I guess you've done all you can with the new bits you've installed, powerless over the others quickness

 

[Workshop]

More than a month dif! I guess you've done all you can with the new bits you've installed, powerless over the others quickness

Things that still have to get done.
Gutters, attic insulation, water heater, furnace and A/C, kitchen countertops, bathroom counter/sink, toilet. Kitchen countertops have a 4 week lead time and just got ordered last week. Most delays are due to 2 things. Subcontractors putting us into their schedule and board meetings to approve disbursement of the money to pay everything.
Plus the amount to do the whole job went from 168k to almost 200k because of code upgrades and the A/C. The adjuster was going to replace the furnace and A/C cooling coil inside the house and reuse the condenser section outside. I told him that can’t be done. My A/C is R22. R22 systems aren’t made anymore and newer R410a isn’t compatible with R22 systems. Operates at much higher pressures which would destroy the compressor and condenser. The adjuster got a little snobby and said they’ll call in an expert to look it over. The expert told them they were going to have to replace the entire system all the way to the floor vents. New hvac all the way through. My house had 100 amp service panel originally. City said it had to be upgraded to code. Minimum 125 amp service. That’s been done for a couple of months now.
It’s a never ending process.

Good morning,

We had a beautiful evening in ThunderDome last night!

 

[Sawdust Man]

Another batch of rain last night.
"They" are saying it was .8" but I'm thinking maybe a bit more..... according to my high tech gauge.




Good morning everybody.

 

[nbbt]

Good morning all. We had some nice soaking rains last night as well, but without any thunder.
Possibly getting some more for the next day or two, it's much needed at the homestead.

Good morning everybody.

I could sure use a rain gauge like that, with a backhoe w/claw as well.
