60+ year old thread.

Ken:
The average yearly rainfall in Bowie, MD is just under 45 inches a year. We already have had 56 inches this year with 3 months to go and it is raining today.

 

Hi Tom, with that much rain....You should have made the shed dual purpose so you could use it as a boat if need be...I've been lucky with no flooding especially in the basement...my neighbor has a BIGGG sink hole in her back yard...haven't seen her hubby around for a few days so she's filling it in herself...just kidding....she does have a big sinkhole cause the storm drain line collapsed. Township is going to repair it...Try to stay dry.. predicting rain here in PA only on Tuesday and dry the rest of the week.....Ken

 

Ken:
My home does not have a basement. I worked repair for the local phone company for 11 years and never went into a home with a basement that did not leak so a basement was not all that important to me at the time. Now I would not mind a basement and a 5 car garage with a wash bay and a service bay with a lift.

I am thankfull that I have a 2 car garage.

 

Rob, Ken, Tom, Jim, Carl....

How's everyone doing this afternoon?

Rob 'grats on the first place as well as selling the other car. Nice hobby.

Hope the rain stops for you guys soon....

Ok, I HAVE to go outside and do SOMETHING, ANYTHING so I can stop thinking about making these http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/food-talk/180194-cookie-bowls.html

I have two boxes of brownie mix in the cupboard

 

I made some yesterday. Pretty good with ice cream.

 

You're not helping here Tom

 

I could post a pic if you want.

 

Interesting info --- Thank You!

 

Good Morning. Supposed to be clearing up in the northeast today.

 

Mornin' All...heard the weather report for today and figured the weather people are at a loss about the weather....The report was "Clear and all cloudy may come a dry drizzle"!!!! Think they're trying to cover all bases....Ken

 

It sure looks goodddd Susan!!!!!!

 

Morning All. Good to be back home but dam the woods were nice. The stars were so nice out there. The dogs are all beat up they are in bad shape only found about 6 quail and only shot 2. I have to go one night this week to shoot trap, I shot like a city boy... Jim

 

You are not helping...

 

Tom, my last house had a crawl space and all the plumbing was in it....everytime we had a leak, I felt like the troll under the bridge while repairing the leak...I swore if we ever moved, the next house would have a basement...French drain works great and no leaks...missus won't let me put lift in garage, she says it's okay to wash the Tacoma AND her car in the driveway!!!! Ken

 

Mornin' Jim...how was the hunting trip??? Ken

 

OOPs didn't see your post here while I was typing!!!! Ken

 

Ken:
Today was the first day in about 3 weeks that the weatherman did not extend the rain into another day. Hoping the sun comes out tomorrow and the rest of the week. If it does I will be painting the back side of the shed next week.

 

morning all: finally; looks like a 5 day run with no rain forecast. congrats to 1'st place with car,know all about spending hundreds to get a $6 trophy. now if only we could get a batch of homemaid cookies to go with the trophy. anyone ever make -hurst's HAMBEENS brand 15 bean soup? this stuff is awesome. takes a little time to make but well worth it. I put both the smoked ham hocks,and smoked sausage in. otherwise follow recipe on pkg. took this (pre-made) to maine for years,and enjoyed every last bit of it.

 

Hey Carl, never had hurst's HAMBEENS, but my friends mom Mabel made the best beans ever... unfortunately she passed on and never gave anyone the recipe...tried to duplicate her beans but never came close!!!

 

We've got a large basement - had a full set of French drains put around the foundation and despite a high water table around our property have never had any leakage issues.

Jim - have you ever shot Sporting Clays? I did for the first time a few weekends ago and loved it! Much more like hunting that trap or skeet, I think.
