Flood

The idiots who built the workshop at the place I rent built the slab a good 200mm BELOW the normal level of the rear laneway. PLUS they added concrete slabs to make a perfect spillway. The tiny 50L soakwell / drain was never going to cope.

Added to that the Council don't keep the laneway in good condition or drained and every local business seems to dump their storm water there anyway.

So when it bucketed down recently I thought I'd check the workshop was OK. I opened the roller door from the inside to take a look at was met by the wave of a mudslide.

Everything had to come up off the floor.

Then we raked, swept and squeegeed as much as we could. Blower fans helped dry things out in a couple of days.

Needless to say I had a few unkind words to say to the Ranger, Council (who later 'solved' the problem by dumping a few tons of bluemetal along the laneway), the landlord and the owner.

Idiots.
