I have once again been stuck without the internet!\u00a0 We lost power with the bad storm last Saturday- it was a mess.\u00a0 I was all set to paint the living room as I said in my previous post.\u00a0 My mother in law even drove up to help out- we finally got 1 coat on the walls when the lights started to flicker.\u00a0 Not a big deal I thought, the power won’t go out.\u00a0 We heard a loud noise and the whole sky lit up.\u00a0 Think again- we lost power for 4 days!\u00a0 Not so fun.\u00a0 Most of our stuff is in the basement because we just had the floors re-done and were waiting to unpack until I got some of the painting finished.\u00a0 The sump pump, which was working on over drive with all the rain, does not work if there is no electricity.\u00a0 We were up Saturday night bailing out our sump pump and moving stuff up and out of the basement until 3:30 am when our neighbors, who are on a different circuit, got power back.\u00a0 We ran an extension cord over to their place to run the pump- our stuff was saved!\u00a0 We almost quit- we were so tired and exhausted from hauling buckets of water up out of the basement.\u00a0 People this was not fun.\u00a0 The next day, still no power.\u00a0 We went for a walk up the street and saw this:<\/p>\n

Ummm, this doesn’t look good.\u00a0 So Monday came and went, then Tuesday then Wednesday and we finally got power back!\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 Then no cable or internet for 2 more days.\u00a0 Such a crazy storm.\u00a0 Hopefully all of you made it through OK.\u00a0 Now a back-up battery for the sump is on the ever growing Home Depot list.\u00a0 I promise this week to post pics of the new house.\u00a0 I even painted some more today and just have the baseboard trim left to go in the living room!\u00a0 Next weekend that will get finished and we can start unpacking!\u00a0 Lots of house stuff to report and a maternity session to post so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
