I am Certain this Isn't What Nana Had in Mind...

...when she daydreamed on Waterfront property. Well, I actually have no idea whether or not Nana ever dreamed of Waterfront property but lord knows I did, and, this is devastating.

The good news is that the water has receded and the clean-up has begun. The bad news is that Nana lost a bit more then she anticipated, mainly the Hot Water Tank, Furnace and a few heirlooms that were misplaced in the garage and not the house.

Over the weekend Nana tackled most of the mess thanks to strapping young lads who volunteered with a local church to help with clean-up efforts. One of the lads even stayed back while the others dumped a load a garbage.

Their arrival was a miracle, really.

Nana needed help, and there they were backing into her driveway asking if they could help her.

Almost makes me want to go back to Church. Hey, I said almost.

A view of some of the damage caused, if you don't remember, by this.

Half of the contents of the garage.


The perimeter of the back yard is littered with random debris, garbage and firewood only some of the items actually belong to Nana.

Proof that the flood went to the seventh step, two steps higher then the flood in 2006.

The red tagged Furnace and Hot water tank.

Lastly, the woods behind Nana's property, it is filled with even MORE random debris then her yard and if you look on the right hand side you'll even see a shed. You know, like a LARGE storage shed just casually askew acting as if the woods has always been its home.

And that concludes OPERATION CLEAN THAT CRAP UP!
