Gibson - Construction Site

 Our Remodel project was subjected to rains on Wednesday... and after a day of rain I inspected the new rafters and sub-floor to find the plastic wrap we put to protect the studs and sheerwalls was now holding about 60 gallons of water, in between each.....

so 12 - 14 5-gallon buckets from Home Depot filled with water, which I gathered by carefully piercing the plastic to relieve the water weight...  It was like carefully popping a water balloon without it bursting everywhere.  The pocket of water (see photo) with the most took about 2 hours to drain....  Yes... seriously.

This morning, after taking care of some buiness meetings elsewhere, I returned to the construction zone to clean up the mess... and shop vac out the remaining water....

 Lovely Silty Water... 

Luckily the plastic John put down was tacked up about 3 feet to create a lovely lagoon...

And Josie made sure she watched and supervised all the events as the morning progressed!!!!

Oh... and for the record... John was in Mississippi when these events happened... good job he wrapped and put down plastic before leaving....!!!!  That probably saved us about $2000 in rotten wood...
