Today is July 28th. It has been 18 to 19 days since severe flooding over certain regions of Vermont, which has given me time to reflect. We are lucky. We didn’t lose a home. We didn’t lose a life. All these things have happened in a small rural area of the Northeast Kingdom. So, I am grateful, yet very sad for others who have lost loved ones or homes.
Volunteers by the dozens stepped up to help. My son Nate and his partner, and my daughter in CT. were an incredible asset….so much work and organizational work was done. The MUD was INFINITE!
However, we did lose our 2400 SQF basement from over 5’ of trapped water, much swept towards the Atlantic ocean.Our woodshop, tools, equipment, materials and supplies for much of my work, gone. Let alone bikes, gardening supplies, mowers and many other personal items. The basement is stable and nearly empty. Sort of like a giant concrete bowling alley, lol. Maybe the acoustics are good for a good old-fashioned barn dance :)
We are closing in on the restoration and clean up.
Nearly time to move forward.
