Day 59: RAIN

Wednesday

Yesterday we got the basement walls poured, and just in time, as it poured rain Tuesday evening and Wednesday early morning. As Steve put it, we can check the swimming pool off the list as we now have one in our basement.

I was going to have some gravel delivered today for the basement underslab, but my gravel guy sent me this picture in a text. They got five inches at their house in Excelsior Springs, MO, about 10 miles from Kearney. It's a bit too wet and muddy to be bringing gravel trucks down our driveway at the moment. Steve's rain gauge "only" showed 1.4" from last night.

Our bridge that we installed last week did well, holding up to a flood of water that washed over the bridge.

Compare the water level to where it was last week.
