How High's The Water, Marcy? or Water World

At three AM this morning it was pretty darn high.  I could see only with the lightning.  Marcy's house and ours were islands.  We were grateful there was no bad storms with it.

After the water receded

in Marcy's yard

five hours after the peak

I'm glad it was dark.

This is the "dry ditch" beside Marcy's house.  You can tell from the grass it was much higher.  I tried to take pictures in the dark...doesn't work.

This was all running water before daylight.  Yep, that's a lawn chair.  The water almost reached our house and did flow strongly around Marcy's.  Much like another storm two years ago only more rain this time.

We are safe.  The ponds are full.  Some roads are gone and much land has washed down the creek. The work waiting is overwhelming to even think about so like Scarlett O'Hara, I will think about it tomorrow.

My Project Finished?

Ye gads! What a mess!

Can't blame it on anyone but me.

 I began with this piece which has been my bread table, 

my grinder table or 

whatever I decided to use it for table

 I attached wheels where I can roll anywhere

The rusted washers won't matter, 

they will be painted and hidden.

Used a two by four block

to attach the wheels since the main frame was only an inch

You can see by the orbs family was helping

or it could be sawdust on my camera?

My dry run.

This will be renamed an "island"

but it floats so I could call it a boat.

I have simply added a shelf on the top

and a shelf to extend the existing shelf on the bottom.

 Leveled, sanded, screwed, painted

and not quite loaded.

I'm calling it finished...

and y'all thought I was creating something wonderful!
