Wind and Waves!!

We got a lot done this week despite the hurricane. The group that came in to work on the house was from Maryland and they were a group of 4 guys and so it was great to have them because we needed the sheathing put on the roof. And it is almost all done, they would have finished if Ike didn’t come through. So when Ike came through the waves in the Gulf were huge! Usually the Gulf is really calm, but the waves were big because of the wind, and there was lots of flooding. I was on my way to Leah’s house on Thursday morning and I see a sign that says road closed because of flooding. I think to myself, it is not raining why would there be flooding, so I ignored the sign and lo and behold there really was water on the road. Leah and her family actually spent the night in the house I am staying in on Thursday night because they were worried about there cars more than anything. They did end up with a little water under the house, but nothing bad at all. I have been having a lot of fun actually doing office work, because I now understand how everything works together that I can figure things out and I actually have fun drawing on CAD. Well hopefully there will be no more hurricanes!
