Ame

The word for rain in Japanese is ame. And plenty of it. I would not care at all except I have trenches full of water waiting to be filled with cement. I failed er, uh, cancelled my inspection on Tuesday because I had trenches full of water. I didn't know that they should not be full of water when the inspector shows up for the footing inspection. I did, however, dry out and pass inspection on Wednesday. But, the concrete guy couldn't pour on Wednesday and Thurdsay (today) it is raining. And lightninging. And thundering. Too fun. My trenches, however, are so full I could bathe in them. I don't know how this will effect us but I hope it will give us a little break, soak in, and be ready to pour tomorrow. We will see. I will go buy a pump today. I hope this helps.

Marci called me last night and told me she went to see Dave Matthews. Killin' me.
