Well, that was interesting! Big storm last night. 3" of rain here, 6" in the burbs to the south and 10"(!!) to the north. Lots of lightening which was very cool to watch. The thunder scared the crap (fortunatly, not literally) out of the dog. He went and curled up in my son's room. A room he never goes into, weird...

I went down to the basement to get something and noticed water coming in. Razzlefrats! Went to check out the new egress windows and discovered that one of them was filling up, already at least a foot deep and slowly leaking through the tacked down trim (waiting to be removed and finished and completely tacked down). Checked the gutters and, yup, they were clogged and the rain was just coming over the edge right down into the egress window bay. Threw on sandals and a hat, grabbed a bucket, and went to bail out the bay like it was a boat. After I got it bailed, I needed to put something over it to keep the still-coming-down rain from refilling it. Ended up putting the deck table upside over it with a bucket under it to give it that just-right slant. Got competely soaked and my back is still yelling at me.

More rain today, but I think it will be slow so it will be ok. And the table is still there.
