KimberlySayWhat Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I want to put it in a bag and beat it with a stick! Dare I say I'd take a 100 degree drought over this? Yes, I would. I'd regret it but I'd take anything over this (except for cold and snow of course). This summer has been a complete wash out! It hasn't even felt like summer. I like an occasional summer thunderstorm, but this is relentless and redundant and I can't take it anymore! Monday and Tuesday of this week were perfect. You really couldn't ask for better weather for this time of year in Houston. I just wish it wouldn't have ended mid-week. Ugh! Here's hoping for a sunny and warm fall.

houstonmacbro Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 As much as I don't like it raining all weekend (especially when I have every Friday off in the summer!) I think I like the cooler temps of the 'rainy season' than the blistering heat of the normal summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDidIt Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Try moving and remodeling during this garbage. Rain makes everything "get pushed back a week.' ARG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimberlySayWhat Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 But reading can be done anytime. I like to read at night before bed. I want to enjoy summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I know this is going to sound weird, but the rain lately (the last couple of days) has kinda been light and more misty than torrential. I like to actual walk in this weather with a hoodie on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Anyone have any flooding photos to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Anyone have any flooding photos to share?No pics, and amazingly, no flooding. I just checked the Harris County emergency management website, and I have received almost 24 inches of rain since June 1. My ditch fills up, but no flooding.I was moving some dirt around this afternoon to level out some low spots that I've seen when it rains (every day). I swear, within 5 minutes of finishing, it started raining! Got another inch or two. At least I got to see if my efforts paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Anyone have any flooding photos to share?No pics here. Even with Allison the water here on N. Main only covered the sidewalk. One of my siblings has a picture of my parent's chimney in Inwood/Arbor Oaks 91 days after we unloaded it. Talk about timing...In any event, this rain has wiped out the 10 year Texas drought and has replentished Toledo Bend and it's marinas. It's party time for us.

Mark F. Barnes Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 That is a definite bad day happening. Hopefully it's less prevalent with the new aerobic systems, that can unload the system instead of relying on absorption and french drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, since you bring it up, what exactly does an aerobic system do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F. Barnes Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 An aerobic septic system adds oxygen using any of several types aeration or "fine air bubble" systems to increase the level of effluent treatment in the septic tank by encouraging aerobic bacteria. Aerobic systems produce a better-quality waste water effluent for discharge into the absorption or sprinkler system for final treatment and disposal. The sprinkler type can unload the system and save a backup into your house in the rainy season. We use them out in the country. And the waste water makes the hay grow really well. I have a five acre system myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDeb Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 At least the rain keeps the house cooler and the electricity bill lower. I also have yet to water my lawn this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoog Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The electricity bill is not that much lower. We only saved $50.00.Did in rain in Houston this weekend? It was sunny all weekend in Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sunny all weekend in Galveston.Only $50? That's about a third of my monthly electric bill. I'll take it!It was scattered around town all weekend. We were in Hermann Park much of the day Saturday and didn't get dumped on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
