God called down the rain

I’ve had a crap week and need to vent.  Earlier this week in Keller, TX we received about 7 inches of rain in about an hour.  Normally this would create a small lake in my back yard that would soon run off into the street. 

Unfortunately, there is a road being extended behind my house and the idiot construction crew demolished the drain that used to somewhat protect our lot.  So the expected small lake was more like the freaking Atlantic. 

In short my house flooded like the earth did when the Lord God almighty called down the rain many years ago.

So we have had these huge fans and dehumidifiers running all week which means it sounds like a 777 taking off and never leveling off!  I will admit after awhile it is a little soothing but my poor wife is about to crack as she is home all the time while I get to escape to the office.

Since we had to drill small holes in the base of our cabinets to dry things out, pull up carpet and replace the pad, and pay for all these damn fans I am out around $1200! 

And to top things off… the construction crew is taking no responsibility for their crap project management skills.  Don’t despair… when my wife is pi$$ed she is not nice.  They will pay before this over. 

Perhaps these boys need to ring up Hal from Reforming Project Management so they can get a clue about risk management, or any kind of management for that matter.

Anyhow, that was my week.  Hope yours was better.
