New Plan putting up rolled roofing


OK hopefully you can get an idea of the "New" Plan... we are putting up rolled rubber roofing to stop the water from getting to the edge of the house?? I HOPE>>>> We are putting up a 10 foot wide strip the entire length of the house... heehee...PLEASE work... IF it works we'll cover it with river rock and maybe against the house put up some cement board so that it looks a little nicer??? Or something... my goal right now is that it can rain hard and the basement not leak...
What do you think???

road slope to house


Maybe you can tell by this picture how much higher the road is than the basement level of our house?? A lot of run off going straight to the side of the house that continues to leak...

Dufus in Lawn Chair


Here is a closer look at Dufus... as a puppy he was a "terror"... he chewed up everything and anything... pop cans were shredded, any wires on any car or truck.. anything.... he finally outgrew that phase... but wow was it a trial for a long time..we were afraid for anyone too come and visit for fear what their cars/trucks would look like when they'd leave..

Chihuahua Bullet & the boys


Here is our 4 plus Bullet the neighbors dog that we babysit for off and on.. he is a chihuahua but thinks he is a giant...excuse my dirty door but with the dogs i'm ready to give up trying to keep it clean..

Penny Sue


Here is Penny Sue... she was also a dump dog from a dump litter. The neighbors decided to keep her, and found homes for the rest of the litter, but she always came here to play with our dogs, so when they moved they ask if we'd take her... how could we say no to that face...heehee

Neno


Here is Neno.... he is suppose to be part german shepherd and part collie... he is large and heavy... but the one that stresses the most when we go on vacation...
