Day 127

We started the day by bringing in the marble that we are going to use for the hearth. Then we went downstairs to get the tile that we had found in the house. We were thinking that this tile must have come from around one of the fireplaces. We were thinking that we could use this tile with the marble some way. And we wanted to see how they went together.

The two small tiles are things that we found in the basement. Now all we need to do is figure out what we want to do with them. :)

Jonathan attached the sink to the wall. Then it started raining. We haven't been there when it was raining for quite awhile. We knew that it leaked a little bit next to the chimney. But when the water started running down the wall I got a bit worried. We look around for a way to try and catch some of that water. Then I headed up to third floor to see how things were doing up there. By this time it was really pouring outside. Around the tower roof it was leaking in (a ton of water was coming in). So I looked around in the dark (we have the power shut of to the third floor right now) for some buckets or any containers to catch the water.

It was still raining quite hard when we decided to go back home. There was water everywhere, running to the van, I was stepping in water up to my ankles. We learned one thing from this storm... lots of water CAN still get inside our house.
