April 8, 2009: Day before the rain and storms – wrapping house

  The weather is nice today, but don’t get used to it.  Heavy rain and storms will form late tomorrow and continue into Friday afternoon.  More heavy rain is possible Sunday night and Monday.  Rainfall totals of 1-3" appear likely across all of our counties in the next few days.  Rivers are already high and flooding is going to become a bigger and bigger problem.  The parade of storms continues.

  Severe weather – with tornadoes – will be possible late Thursday into Friday.  Will have to keep a close eye on the moisture return with this system.  Winds fields will be strong tomorrow night.

  They are wrapping the house today – trying to get it in the dry.  Moving along, but we need more nice weather.  Not sure we can pull that off, though.

  We picked out a color – we are going to go with the color my grandmother’s house on the farm was.  Sort of a dark reddish color.  Then white trim and a black roof.  Also picked out decking.  Still working on the color for that.  Everything is moving along, though.

  Looked at some apartments in Murray today but no decisions on any of that.  They were nice.

Wrapping the house

Tony’s GQ shot – 🙂  My brother in law.  Had to make sure he didn’t fall out of the window.

Conduit has arrived for the wires for the weather instruments – solar panels – OEM antennas – and so on! 
That is a lot of conduit.  🙂

Color we are going with on the house

Day 2 severe weather outlook – concerned about a tornado threat tomorrow night and Friday morning.
Will have to keep an eye on it.

My friend David Brown sent me this photograph from Canada.  CRAZY 😛
