Spring sprung a leak

One of the lessons of Loveless (that I can’t always sustain in other aspects of my life) is that it’s helpful to adopt a belief that things will work out, eventually. 
And so it was when water from the spring snow melt began seeping under the weeHouse windows and dripping into the walkout basement. In at least four spots.





Steady drip ran right along the windows in front and back.


Bamboo floors took on water, too. An easy fix if floor had been laid down lengthwise, as in the original construction.  

Eventually, the builder and the architect stood side-by-side looking at the problem and figuring out a solution. We’re hoping that the fixes -- combined with a gutter system Chris and I will install in the coming weeks -- will do the trick.
