It started raining like crazy outside. It was nice and cozy inside. I can barely hear the dripping of water outside.Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
The dripping sounded different than usual. It was just outside my door.
Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
My curiosity caused me to open the door to look outside and discover the overflowing gutter.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
Opening the door let water rush into the house from the porch.Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
The water flowed into the drain missing all the stuff on the floor.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
The puddle on the basement stair landing revealed a clogged drain.
Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
We caught it before it flooded the entire basement and ruined our precious stuff.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
We had to act quickly to stop the landing from filling with water.Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
It was clear the water was coming from the overflowing gutter and the ladder was a few feet away. It was cleared easily.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
It took our attention off the water still flowing into the house from the clogged drain in the basement landing.Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
We got the tools, cleared and drained the clogged drain in the basement landing.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
I tracked gunk into the house all over the place.Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
There were plenty of towels to wipe up the mess and help dry things out.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
Some of the towels were purchased yesterday. My wife was NOT Happy!
Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good!
I apologized. She forgave me.
Oh, that’s good! No, that’s bad!
I had forgotten just what a wonderful person she is. So, I told her.
Oh, that’s good! Yeah, that is good!
