What a start to the latest “adventure”. After pounding our way East for the first week (unfun sailing) Linda took a fall that required surgery on her left knee. Luckily I was in port when it happened so I rented a car and made it home before she went in for the procedure.
The day after surgery the “flood of the century” unindated my house putting 4′ of water over the lower slab. The house is built up 12 feet off the ground so it didn’t get into the living area but everything in the garage I couldn’t remove went under including my 39′ RV and welding machine.
Suffice it to say I’ve had better beginnings to a vacation. The boat is in Pensacola while Jono and I clean up the mess. We lost water the second day when the tank on our pump floated breaking all connections to the well, and to the house. We came within 2″ of losing electricity, water was almost to the breaker box.
Last night 2 hours after dark I got the well put back together so we have running water again. Now it’s just waiting on the appraiser while everything in the garage goes sour….. Nice huh?
