Friday, October 30, 2009 - Put Up the Rain Gear, November is Here (Almost)

Sure it's a muddy mess, but we have the basement now completely blocked...windows and all. Next up next week: weather-proofing, pouring the concrete floor, beginning the plumbing, and the second round of inspections. A week from Monday they will bring in the lumber for framing. Now we are cooking, despite September being the second wettest September in Nashville history and this month being the wettest October in more than 80 years. Only five other times in the past century have there been back-to-back months that contained more precipitation than September and October 2009 combined. On the bright side, last year we had less than two inches of rain in November, which is a month that averages about four inches of rain. With no rain in sight for next week, it looks like November is off to a good start.
