Weather! Again...

So in my last post, I said I can't remember a Spring like this year.  Now, I have to repeat myself (and, it's not due to age...) I can't remember an August like the one we just had. I was beginning to think I should "Google" Noah and see if he was back in the construction business!

The rains have made Acreage living in Omaha, NE a little soggy. Even my old barn in Dundee was pushed to the limits on what the ground could hold.  I decided to be proactive and see what steps I could take to make sure my basement stayed dry.  Here's a very simple and easy to understand article that I found useful: How to Waterproof Your Basement

With all the water on the road, I found it difficult to navigate to my acreage listings in Nebraska and Iowa.  I know we are not supposed to drive through standing water but come on now, we know we all do it.  So, I figured if I am going to do the wrong thing, I might as well do it the right way. This link will take you to the Smart Driving site where I found some great information under the heading of Negotiating Floods.


With our country's farmers in mind and the acreage homes around Omaha that I need to show and sell, let's hope the worst is over. In the meantime, here's an amazing video recap of the entire country during the second week in August.


Wow! Until next time...try to stay dry. And, if you'd like to see one of my incredible acreage homes around Omaha, be sure to bring your boots!
