Just got another flash flood warning. National Weather Service was surprisingly specific in warning about new koi pond in Norton, MA;)

Gosh I feel sorry for all you folks who really get dumped on a lot w/the rain. Fortunately us here in the PNW only get rain most of the time that is the showery stuff so not much overflow in the pond. Once in awhile we get a good dumping but the rain just squeezes out through the lowest spots between rocks or plants etc.
I do have the rocks that everyone hates so much around a pond but as they have been there for so long now plants have pretty much covered them all up. I built the pond almost 20 yrs ago before I knew much about it all. Also have the volcano waterfall,lol! Not building another one the way I should have at this point............uh, uh, no way, will just enjoy it the way it is now :cool:

Thanks it's one of my favorite trees and it's the only palm tree that will grow here and live all winter long. Grew it from a seed I picked up almost 20 years ago at the zoo in Seattle :)

Yep, real estate will be slow for awhile. I do residential real estate, only a little commercial. This month has been ok, but the Fall is usually somewhat busy. I have been through this a lot through my career, always goes up and down.

Along with flood warning, now we just got a tornado warning. Really picked the perfect week to start the pond. Hurricane warning will probably be posted tomorrow for this weekend. Daughters are freaking out about the tornado warning, lol.

I meant on the site. We have been busy for years updating our very sad electrical grid . the lines are generally 100 to 75 years old. For those who remember there parents homes had 60 amp services and were a far cry from ever using it all . And today the kids bedrooms will come close . we are so far away from going electric it's not even funny. But so long as people keep buying the sale we will be even busier.

Pretty crazy. Just had to laugh at my radar app that has the NWS warnings, the picture is the screenshot. I think the only thing missing is the swarm of locust.
