Showers

If your olfactory sense is operating normally, you probably already knew that we haven't taken showers since we moved in. Well, we bathed, so I hope you didn't really smell us. But there were some obstacles to overcome before we could shower. I explained in earlier posts how we needed to get the floor fixed, the window trim replaced, the whole place cleaned, the window trim painted, sealed, and caulked, and I related that the towel rack was up. We also had to hang a shower curtain, and we decided to go with faux wood blinds in the window as a privacy solution. That's all done now, and now we can shower. It's so nice. The advantages over bathing are multitudinous. Speed, convenience, not sitting in your own filthwater. The list goes on.

Last night it rained a good deal, so you could say our house took a shower, too. Except that it is not waterproof like a person. We didn't suffer any damage, but it underscores the need to take care of the roof and seal up the utility room. And regrade the yard for better drainage, etc. Is aluminum flashing cheap?

Gen 6:17 - And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.

[Our flood was not as cataclysmic, and I could detect no destroyed flesh.]
