HiYa Bob and Gang. Enjoying a few minutes of quiet at the campsite while Grandma takes the four granddaughters out for a walk.

Evenin Woods! Been a crazy week or so. Heavy rain on Weds filled one of our basement window wells to the point you could see 10-12" of water up against the window. Benjamin & I did the bucket brigade routine to empty the window well, then we join the gals using shop vacs to get all of the water off the floor in that room (Beth's office). I put a piece of pvc pipe on the edge of the well cover as there was a gap about an inch or more that allowed the water to get in.
The same day & storm, friends of ours 2 blocks away were having their roof replaced from the hail storm in June. The water got into the house and their ceiling collapsed in 3 rooms. We did a little bit to help them but a family of 6 plus 6 guys from the roofing crew made it all a bit crowded and not much we could do. We did let them park their pop-up camper & a couple bicycles in Greg's stall of our garage so they have room to move stuff out of their house. We also had them over for a BBQ on Sunday. 4 days into hotel life and they appreciated a sit down meal in a house.
No luck on the employment hunt but I have an interview Thursday for the Town of Frederick. [[i]fingers crossed]
I started filling out the application for SS disability but have a few questions & need to consult a lawyer...if i can find one that does free consultations for this.
My Pop is getting his tiny home ready for move in down in Fountain. He might be up this weekend for a visit.
I didn't back read, hope everyone is well.

Pretty crazy about your friend's house. You're a good man for helping out as much as you can.
