Hurricane #2 -- Hannah

Sam & Roger dug the ditches for the sewer and water today (9/4), but it was not good. Sam hit the block wall and knocked it out of place and then Roger hit it the next day. This was a bad week - it seemed like no matter how hard we worked and pushed forward there were more set backs than anything. But Andy (mason guy) came late Friday afternoon and fixed all the block and Sam & Roger finished digging the sewer and water ditches. We knew hurricane Hannah was on the way so Roger prepared. He put plastic over the entire slab so it would not be a muddy mess. He arranged the plastic so all the rain would drain into the big ditch in the middle of the house where the sewer will be layed.

Here comes hurricane #2 (Hannah). These hurricanes are relentless! It rained all night Friday (9/4) but was dying off by early morning Saturday (9/5). Justin came over about 10:30 and they removed all the plastic (very carefully) and then shoveled out all the muddy slime from the big sewer ditch. Everyone was completely muddy by the end of the day. Bob was hosed off at least 4 times that day; even Vegas got toweled off!

One good thing is the hurricane did not last long and the wind didn't blow, so it could have been a lot worse -- Justin & Roger were done by mid-afternoon.
