No real hurricane for us

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

We’re lucky, Hurricane Dennis stayed offshore, so we only had some “rain bands” which brought tons of rain and wind. Some trees blew over or broke, but that’s it.

MEANHWHILE, our house has freaking leaked again. I’m so upset I have no words. This is a brand new house and this is, what, I’ve lost count… one wall leaked 5 times, another 3 times, all the windows leaked during Hurricane Charley, recently some windows leaked during a thunderstorm, our front door paritally leaks and is moldy, and now a new part of the house is not just wet but MOLDY which means it’s been happening for some time. We’re so upset and I just can’t even talk about it. I’ve been well-off, I’ve been poor, I’ve lived in new buildings and old buildings, even a condemned building, and in my whole life I’ve never seen water intrusion like this, except for maybe the condemned house. What does that say about this builder!?

Hurricane Dennis

Friday, July 8th, 2005

Well, it’s that time of year again and another hurricane is heading our way. Some “cones of probability” have it just grazing us, others have us inside the cone of probability. Even if it just grazes us we are to have Tropical Storm force winds and rain. Our house leaks in just a strong thunderstorm. *sigh* I so don’t want to go through this again. WHY can’t we move to Toronto!?

Well, we’ll see what happens with this storm, and I’ll blog through it like I did last year (on the old blog) as long as I have internet. After that I’ll be sure to moblog w/ my camera phone as long as I can.

Maybe it’ll miss us entirely. That’d be great.
