With that said, the 24-hour sky dripping has created a handful of nuisances.
Garage door freak out
Our garage door is on the fritz. As soon as the rain began, the door's safety mechanism decided it wouldn't allow the door to shut remotely. I tinkered with the laser pointer at the bottom of the door, hoping to eventually get the green safety light to stay solid to no avail.
There is nothing blocking the ray in the doorway. My only thought is that maybe the relatively high moisture from the rain created some fogging on the inside of the lens, tricking it into thinking there was something that could die as the door fell.
Arachnophobia
While moving a pile of rocks from the bottom of our back bank I found a nasty tunneling spider (what is the real name for that sucker?) and a Black Widow. As I watched the water flow down our yard I wished it would drown them so I could finish the job.
I guess we need more rain for that. And I guess I need to find a way to get them out of my rock pile so I can move it.
Front porch drip
On the way down our roof, somehow a portion of the rain makes it under some shingles on our front porch and drips through the overhang onto the front steps. I don't think it is affecting the structure of our roof, only the last foot or two. I think it may be that the shingles aren't properly tucked together in the groove that separates the angle of the porch roof and the angle of the garage roof.
We rarely enter from the front porch, but now that our garage door is being a pain it is more evident that we should probably take care of the leak.
