HI VC
We got the sxxx kicked out of us by several more extreme rain events which forced us to abandon salvage operations and instead setup pumps to stop our house, shop and the neighbors house from flooding. Fortunately we found a ditch to the west of our property that had no standing water in it so clearly had good drainage so we ran 200-300’ of hose and pumped for 6 days straight 24 hours a day. For about 72 hours we had 3 pumps going wide open (750+ gallons a minute) none stop but by the 4th day we were able to get down to one full-time and one intermittent to keep things heading in the right direction and later that week we were able to resume salvage operations and start planning how we were going to deal with the waterflow that we are now seeing coming down the mountain. The stupid city 17 days after the slide and after all the extreme rain storms (nothing additional came down the mountain) decided our place was a danger to life so they put an evacuation order on the property which has now cost us thousands of dollars in unnecessary Geotechnical BS to have the order lifted. We hope to get all the stuff done the Geotech wants by next week but when you are dealing with sponsored equipment you have to work around the availability of that equipment as we certainly can’t afford to pay the normal going rate for all this so it’s taking a bit longer but we’re getting it done cost effectively thanks to generous friends!
We’ll be ok but it’s been depressing and overwhelming dealing with it all. I have done a bit of work in the shop the last week or so but needless to say it’s hard to focus on the task at hand but I’m doing the best I can. Still haven’t had a good nights sleep since this all happened which isn’t helping me physically or mentally.
Thanks for touching base!
