This is more rain than Ivan dumped on us

As Johnny Carson used to say, "I did not know that."

I thought a wellie was some kind of pump for removing water.

BTW did you hear that Atlanta will get 1-3 inches between that afternoon and tomorrow night? If the forecast doesn't get better, no way I'm going to the Georgia Tech/UNC game. No point in watching it in the clubhouse on a monitor when I can watch it at home on TV.

this makes no sense to me. but, whatever.

What I meant is that if it's raining hard, I'm not willing to sit outdoors in the stands to watch the game. So there's no point in us going to the trouble to deal with the traffic getting to/from the game, only to sit inside the clubhouse at Georgia Tech and watch it on a monitor. We might as well just stay home and watch it on TV.

One of our local weathermen on our Channel 3 news yesterday morning said we have had rain 19 days out of the month here, and 8.55 inches of rain which is a good deal for here, of course that is probably at the airport. That puts us at around 6+ inches above normal for the year. I can guarantee you I have had more than any 8.55" at my house this month according to my rain gauge. We have not dried out at all, all the yards are high because it is too soggy to mow them. We are supposed to have sun all weekend but I've yet to see it this morning. It sure has everyone in a sour mood.

Eight days later.

I finally tested the furnace as it got wet. Just decided to not do anything with it and let it dry out - it works - Wahoo!!!!!!

However! Leak in the roof. I wonder if it's time for a new one? Nah, can't be. Same spot as always. Must be something with a loose shingle or two in that section.

Supposed to rain here the next three or four days.

How old is your roof? Asphalt Shingle usually only lasts 15-20 years. Is the leak near any plumbing, often the seals on roof vents will wear out and it's just rain water running through the cracks.

There is some kinda' vent right there. Come on up and we'll check it out together. I don't get on the roof without lipstick on, however.

I've owned the house 12 years. Nine mos. after I bought it, tree took out the back of the house and all of that part is approx. 11 yrs. old. Something tells me it has to do with this area and a loose shingle??

I don't want to put any kind of strange energy out there because I've had enough of that lately, but I'd rather replace a furnace than buy a new roof for this house.

Sounds like a worn out seal on the vent. What weekend works for you? The weekend of the soiree is out since we'll be wasted in Margaritaville.
