Gutters, liters, and flooding

We got our gutters and liters cleaned out on Friday. We knew the back liters fed into our main sewer line and there was some drainage issues. Well there was some major rain today and the pipes back up into my garage.

Thank God for wet vacs and Roto Rooter.

Moving Day!

Today the family moves their stuff into the tenant's unit until the current tenant's move out the duplex, we do some minor renovations and move upstairs. Dylan and Alexander are upstate with the maternal grandparents. Zan and I need to get some work done this weekend.
Well, moving took 11 hours. Let me tell you-- get your move capped. That way if they come unprepared or something happens on their side where the move takes longer you are protected.
