I hope we fill this thread with grumps transformed into better experiences this year.
Sometimes, though, it is unavoidable, at least temporarily. Things happen.
Our road out was flooded, but now the waters have receeded. Our basement was beginning to flood as well. ShopVac to the rescue.
Our power goes out a lot in winter. Now we have a Generac stand-by generator.
California has been in a drought for quite a while now. Now many low-lying towns and cities are getting flooded...and lots of downed trees. I just read of a tree falling on a house and killing a toddler. YIKES!!!
