When it rains, it pours - literally!
Our June and July were largely consumed with urgent projects. Our basement flooded because our window wells, that we had made larger when we replaced the windows but never finished with a retaining wall, filled up during a flash flood. Peter spent much time and hard work to remedy the problem (each stone weighed 30 lbs). On top of that, our refrigerator died on Father's day (see the sweet picture). We quickly bought a used one off Craig's list to put in the garage, and it died 10 days later before our kitchen fridge was fixed. Our disposal also went out... and now our lawn tractor. So when I say "it pours" I am not kidding. Peter thinks he is turning into a full-time home maintenance man. We did have some help along the way which was a blessing. I keep thinking of the quote, "God is more interested in our character than our comfort." So with that in mind, we press on.
