What a mess!

Have you ever encounter something in your house and that something feels like it's never going to get fix or be done anymore?

Like for example your having a renovation for your house and it feels like it's never going to get finish. Well, we have this problem in our backyard that is really getting into me now. We have a open field behind our house and everytime it rains, our backyard are getting a lot of water. And there are times that there's so much water specially when the rain is non stop the water almost gets to the side of the doorway. And since we been getting a lot of rain these days and during spring, its not helping our foundation either.

I would do whatever to protect our home from such, but we can only do so much when we don't have enough budget right. The last time it rains, I was outside in the cold trying to get as much water from the backyard to drain. I have to call my husband at work so he can go home and do something. We have to do some kind of sandbag just to make sure the rain will not get inside the house. We just replaced our carpet and this is not going to ruin our home.

So I was outside in the cold and I don't have any boots on, just a pair of slippers and my feet were all soaked and frozen under the water. It was cold! I think what made it worse was the unfinished work stuff in our backyard. And I think it made it worst. We were trying to make the add more soil close to the house to make it higher than the field and our neighbor so the water will go to the other direction but the soil was to wet to work on... so our backyard literally looks like a somebody has been playing dirt bike. If that's even the right term for that.

I find it funny though because I was using some steel bar clamps to get some debris. I was panicking and I can't find the shovel or at least the rake to use it. And the first thing I grab on was the clamp. The next time I post about this problem that we have, I'll take a picture and post it as well. It's really a mess.
