Although i feel like a rather new member, my take on this is that everything changes anyway, and that doesn’t change. Everything is in motion and you can’t help it. This is IMO one of the most deceiving shortcomings of our western culture to deny that fact… but this is going far off topic.
BLF should stop producing amazing budget lights. That would cool things down a bit! :laughing:
Thanks a lot for the update and for showing concern to a fellow member! Best wishes for Wim and his family, hope to see him around here once he manages to dig out.
Yes, it was very hectic and still is, after being sick we had the highest water since we moved here. We have the mill stream running through the house.
The previous owners had water inside each year but we found an old pipe connecting the lowest room with the mill stream and I closed that so for us we never had water inside.
here is a graph showing the amount a few town upstream: http://www.eau-poitou-charentes.org/debit-station.php?station=R1192510
The spike early January had our entire front yard transformed into a lake and it did not reach the lowest door but the water was seeping through the walls, but they acted as filter so it was very clean and only in one room.
The second spike, Jan 21 pushed the water so high is actually reached the lowest door and so our lowest rooms had a foot deep water. the rushing water on the side of the house made a mess of the barns. (it was about 80cm deep in the front yard)
I am way behind because there are things needing done and it seems impossible to catch up.
And then the longer not logged in the harder it becomes for you know there is so much going on. I will try to catch up and check in daily.
Hey, it’s good to hear from you again. Like was said before, it’s not worth it to try and read a bunch of old posts. It’s better to just ask the people that took over for a summary (if you want to). Just keep things light and easy. :+1:
Woa! That sounds like you went through some weather! It is not a simple thing to deal with elements… I hope you’ll eventually manage to get that mill to produce some electricity (for the Q8 and GT of course).
It sounds like “being in over your head” is almost literal in this case… except it’s more like “being in over your knees”. I hope this won’t be a yearly thing for you to deal with.
