Not that the pool was planned, it just happened that way after the 2 1/2 inches of rain that fell Monday night to Tuesday evening. I think we had about 3 inches of rain in total from the end of last week. Some areas were hit pretty hard on Saturday, an inch of rain and hail in about 30 minutes I think. Thankfully our yard was spared but three miles west of us our fields got hit with a good dump of rain, couldn't see any hail damage the next day so we don't know if any fell on our fields. I don't have pictures of the fields but the basement pictures should give a good indication on the rainfall amount. These two pictures were taken through the basement window. I wasn't brave enough to climb onto the basement walls to get an "aerial" view!
I took these pictures at about 4:00 pm so the water had dropped a bit from the day before.
The floor joists were started on yesterday. The extended areas are for the cantilevers where the bay windows will be.
Yesterday was sunny, hot and had only a slight breeze, we were outside a good portion of the day. Today, however, is cloudy, rainy and it's thundering so I'm guessing this may be as far as the house gets this week. As I'm typing this I hear thunder, see the rain AND the lawn mower is going. Trying to catch up on things that need to get done on this rainy day I guess!
