rain rain go away
no, really, go away.
so, talking to my dad made me realize how uncommon this (past) rain-filled month really was. then talking to the guys at work, i heard the same story: basements which were never wet, were wet now. it was nearly the wettest month in the history of recordkeeping.
incredibly uncommon.
i am SO glad we got those drains flowing away. now we need to have it trenched and re-done. i think a good few paces up and down in the saturated soil would probably provide drainage for now by compacting it and creating a divot. now would also probably be a good time to roll the lawn in the back, which was also retaining water.
