mundensWell, today I tried to clear out all the crap from under the deck at the back of the house in preparation for digging a real drainage ditch so that we don''t get the threeat of floods anymore.
The temporary ditch I dug down the side earlier was enough to prevent what would have otherwise been a flood last week, but it was very close. Another couple of hours downpour and the water would have been over the back door sill.

panda_pitt and Ele have recently spent a lot of time doing up his room, and we're goinng to be putting flooring down soon, and will also be looking at redecorating the other two down stairs rooms, I'd rather be sure we don't have a risk of further flloding
But in order to do thois I have to mvoe all the crap that;s built up under ther over the years, including firewood, and a hundred-odd concrete roof tiles, that ware heavy enough that moving in threes of fours is about all I can manage. But I'm so old and out of condition that by the end of the pile I was having difficulty lifting two of them at a time.
The muscle just above the knee is already aching from all the leg bending I was doing, and I my arms haven't even started aching yet. I know they will. I have had a shower and now at least feel clean, but I am not going to do anything else today!
