Rain, mud and re-stumping

No, it's not a catchy new country music tune ... unfortunately it's the state of play on our block at present. The entire area under and surrounding our house has been turned into a huge mud-pit. Surprisingly this is not conducive to re-stumping, so we have to sit out this rain and pray that the site dries up soon. The boys of course think it's rather fun, and we have had a few "accidental" falling into the mud incidents ... sadly I'm not a fan of soaking and scrubbing, but having to do more than my fair share of it lately!

In other news, it was exciting to show off our house to family and friends last weekend. We ceremoniously escorted the troops up a ladder into the house, and no doubt bored them with the details of our renovation plans as we took the grand tour. No-one but the owners could get excited about re-using ceiling boards on the walls, surely? I definitely sensed more enthusiasm for the project than I was expecting though, and the encouragement was nice actually!

Anyone know a good anti-rain dance?

  1. Oh no hope it dries up quickly for you. At least in QLD a few days of good sunshine it dries out quickly.
    Fingers crossed for you.

  2. My two love mud, I just nude them up and let them go for it which conveniently avoids the washing and soaking part- except for the small children who can do that in the bath.
    Looks like sun from Thursday onwards so fingers crossed some stumping for you next week.
