When is this freaking rain going to stop?
« on: July 13, 2017, 10:57:36 AM »
So here I am trying to put a new roof on my house, spent the last 3 days replacing broken / rotten wood and now there is no sun until Sunday.

It seems like that is all it has done this summer is rain!  So sick of it.

We just had a heck of a storm this morning. Threat of flooding again. Doesn't help the people on Lake Ontario.

Found out the the City of Lancaster, about 6 miles from me got 3.79" of rain in under 3 hours. Lot of flooded basements. I have 2 sump pumps, with whole house generator, had water in basement twice, no more.
