A Record Setting Day!

According to the news, today was the latest day in the season to record measurable snowfall in our area. It surpassed May 24 of 1977 and 1960. The snow melted quickly, however. And that's why you see Steve in the window well.
Here he is bailing out water...lots of water. It was probably about 8 inches deep in the two front window wells and it was about 1/4" from the top where it would have come into the basement under the window. Jen helped to carry out the dishpans full of water to dump a safe distance from the house. Steve installed new extensions on the downspouts. We were happy he hadn't left on his trip to Grand Junction for this week yet. In addition to body contortions, Will has another first today also. One of his top "fang" teeth has broken through the gum. Congratulations, Will.
