Has anyone got plans and a cutting list for an Ark?
I've had 7" of rain in my rain-measuring jug this week. As I do all my
woodwork out in the back yard, I'm spending too much time on this thing
instead. Pray for sunshine else you'll get more gibberish.
I've just looked out. It is absolutely ratting it down again. I think the
lawn is infested with trout...

No marks for confirming a general prejudice!
Bad for the tourist trade!

I can help too, at one point we had more than 35" of (mostly) water
flowing through Cedar Rapids - while we were having tornados elsewhere.
As long as the saw motor is above the waterline, you're in good shape.

I don't have an outboard - but see what's ready in the corner:

I do keep some stuff in a rental storage unit in Des Moines, and shot
this photo the day I went in to stack stuff up off the ground:

Fortunately, the river only rose a few inches after I took the photo.

No but I'm thinking of moving house - top of Sca Fell seems suitable but
it's "The Lake District" for good reason.
I'm glad my daughter and her husband moved back to the Midlands from
Wisbech! [1]
I'm also glad that Severn-Trent have just spent umpteen million and a
around two years improving the surface water drainage round here. There's
been a lot of road closures and inconvenience but the work is supposed to
finally finish at the end of the month

Doesn't surprise me!
> As I do all my woodwork out in the back yard,
I use my garage (car's not been in it for years) but it's crammed and I've
had too many other things to do over this last week or so. Handling sheet
material usually involves cutting outside though.

Believe me I am! We're off to Ireland in the morning for a weeks holiday.

Tell me about it!

it's very flat and low lying. There's a section of road between Cambridge
and Wisbech that is below (normal) sea level

Your looking at this entirely wrong, the rain is not particularly a
problem...your woodworking hobby is......try fishing. Rod

I remember Wisbech only too well. I went to the Pea Pickers' Ball in 1961.
Only time in my life I got totally smashed.
I came across this in another group.

What do you mean? When it gets that bad you bolt the sawblade onto the
outboard engine and continue working.

If it makes you feel better, early June 2001, 35" in one week in Houston.
