We pray for rain, just not under our house

So we've experienced a blessing in disguise. The original house building plan had James and I moved in by February this year. If that had happened it's likely we wouldn't have discovered that we need to build a much more elaborate outdoor drainage system than architecturally designed. Our bottom floor would have flooded this spring. As it is our bottom floor did flood, but we don't have the walls sheet rocked, or painted or carpeted, e.t.c. We are just putting the front courtyard area together with the retaining wall. It is actually pretty good timing to find out that we need to make some major adjustments to the front drainage and cement walls. Sure glad we found out now and not after we put up our walls and laid the flooring.

Yes, that is very lucky to find out before!! I like the retaining wall you guys put in--hopefully no more problems now!
