The Rains Have Cometh!

We have been half hoping for and half dreading the arrival of the rainy “season”.  It looks like we will be starting off with a bang expecting a major rain storm this weekend.  The slopes on the south side of our berm are fairly steep and erosion will be a problem.  Unfortunately we were unable to plant the hill because we didn’t have a way to water it earlier on. Yesterday Jeff sewed grass and wild flower seeds on top of the house and berm.  Last night, using flashlights, the two of us laid down erosion control mats on the steepest parts of the berm.  Hopefully this will give the plants a chance to grow and prevent any major erosion.

I guess this weekend will be the test of how good our waterproofing is.
