Moving Weekend

With the sale of the Snowdon home we moved to a rental for four months while the new home is built. We moved ourselves with the help of family and friends, needless to say we could not have done it without them.

The Thursday before the closing on the sale our house our area was hit with 5-6" of rain in a very short period of time causing much of the city to flood. We experienced the flood first hand when we had to navigate the flooded streets to rescue our daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren who were stranded on one of the flooded streets. Fortunately our home stayed dry but the rental unit did not. The Friday before we moved in we discovered 4 ft. of water in the basement. By the end of that week most of the water issues had been resolved and we began to settle into the new digs. (We also can't wait to move out!)
