It poured with rain on Friday night……

It poured with rain on Friday night, really tipped it down on occasions. I went into the porch with a torch, looking for damp patches and leaks, but couldn’t see any! The porch roof actually seemed to be water-tight! Mind you, I don’t want to be over-hasty in declaring the problem fixed. As PaulD pointed out in one of the comments to an earlier update, I perhaps haven’t taken sufficient account of the wind direction, and it could yet be a problem if the wind is driving in from a different quarter. But I’m hopeful…….

    Astonishing (notwithstanding standard risks of poultry enumeration)!

    Richard,
    With yolks like that you are skating on troubled waters (as it were).
    Gillian,
    Can you build a rotating porch with a sail on the roof (as in windmills) and you could rotate the porch as the wind direction changes? Just trying to be helpful?

    Or perhaps you could use a small wind turbine to drive a pump to remove the water from the porch? 😉

    Fabulous news! Sounds like a relief not to be out there with sticky dots in every drizzle!

    Well i had a garden full of water upto 1 ft deep yesterday, was busy digging a drainage trench out into bottom of neighbours drive. Now improved flood defences a bit and got fingers crossed.

    I’ll swap you for a few drips 🙂

    That sounds ghastly. Hope it was only the garden affected, and not your house too……

    Yeh, it was only garden, and not as bad as 2007, thanks.
