Recently we experienced a nasty nor’easter and what felt like two weeks of rain. There was a good deal of Coastal flooding and I myself had a good deal of water pooling in my yard.
As I was about to leave the house this morning I took a look into my crawlspace access and noticed almost a foot of water.  This would not be the first time I had rainwater accumulate in this location.  To remedy this I took the fountain pump from our pond and stuck it in the access expecting it to take less than two minutes to remove the water.  After five minutes and a hundred gallons of water I realized the water level had not gone down at all. Removing the access hatch I realized there was actually a good 12 inches of water under the entire house.  To make matters worse one of my five naughty cats decided it would be a good idea to jump into the water filled crawlspace only to land upon the semi-floating plastic moisture barrier which wrapped itself around the cat and started to pull her under water about 15 feet from the access area.  I could let the cat drown or go in after her. I ended up crawling in up to my chin in the cold dark crawl space and scooped her up from the water. As thanks she scratched the $hit out of my hand.

All’s well that ends well.  The cat is safe. The crawl space is almost dry and we will have a new liner and dehumidifier installed later this week. No damage was done to the house other than the brick getting wet.

I finally got so tired of spam that I installed reCAPTCHA. It was getting to the point where my daily in-box looked more like an online store for sex toys and enhancement drugs. The day before I installed this plugin I had nearly 100 spam mails. Today I had none. Thank you reCAPTCHA. If you would like to download this plugin for your own blog it is available here.

Blaze and I are thinking about hosting community video on some of our new websites. You can see an example of a Holland Glade Homes video on the Barrows & Associates website lovedebeachlife.com

Just a week after the GREAitW contest was over a funny thing happened. This site which usually had rankings back on page 7 and 8 of Google suddenly jumped up to page one.  I can understand jumping up a page or two in rank after the competition but from page seven to page one in less than 5 days? An awfully large number of people must have pulled all their links off their sites overnight for this to have happened, either that or their was a Google update and G decided it really liked this site?

Now that the  competition is over this site really has no reason to live on other than to help promote  my newest real estate websites. Rehoboth Beach Real Estate | Rehoboth Beach Condos | Delaware Active Adult Communities | Delaware Golf Communities

It’s official, the winner is (drum roll please) the Eric Blackwell Team.
