The Rain Chronicles
Over the past 2 months, prior to November 2nd, it has rained twice. This includes the notoriously rainy month of September. This has wreaked havoc on the lawn with huge brown patches of junky grass, not the beloved in these parts, St. Augustine.
Well, we couldn't take it anymore and had the sprinkler repair man come out on October 29th to fix the delapidated system. Our initial estimate was about $400. It turned out the line was cut at some point so they had to rewire the system which raised the estimate about $225. They also couldn't get to it until November 2nd. Well it actually rained while they were fixing it and it has rained ever since.
It rained so much (a torrential downpour about 4 a.m.) the roof started leaking in the same valley we had repaired in the spring.
Oh, the joy of homeownership!
