Swamped, even on the ridge
"How's
your wood-stove alcove project going?" --- various people
We were almost done with the digging...then it set in to rain. An inch and three quarters later, we didn't have an excavation project, we had a moat.
At first, Mark and I were just going to wait for the water to soak into the soil. But we seem to be on an every-other-day rain schedule at the moment and I'm not a very patient person. So Mark dug out a sump pump. Stay tuned to see if it works!

Rain
Good luck - but this is part of Ohio we get more rain than people realize. Though on the Ohio River Valley even heavier - more than Seattle.

RAIN
I fully understand your problem. I am wondering if my yard will ever be dry again. We have been getting about 5" of rain almost every week for the past month or two or more.
