And then it rained all day and all night.
Had to leave work Monday morning to take care of the house. Thought I'd be back after lunch but ended up having to take the day off.
Our driveway slopes toward the garage and the house. There's a trench drain in front of the garage that pipes to a catch basin in the street, but somewhere along that drainage line there's a blockage and so, the water rises and rises. Had to drain the driveway four times -- and thanks to the City of Shoreline, we were able to sandbag the front of the house to keep the water at bay.
Compared to a lot of others in Washington and Oregon, we were lucky. No damage. Just a soggy annoyance.
Kudos to Eliza & Levi for for doing their part to protect their neighbor's homes!

Thanks for your comment & for the kudos on your site. Good thing you included the link to "Coffee" in the comment you left me--I finally got around to changing the link on our blog! Yippeee--more kudos for me! :)
Yeah...Albert and I were pretty upset by a little leak on our kitchen roof - until I looked at Liza and Levi's blog.
