"If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plan."

Not sure if you all know this but it has been a bit wet up where we have been working.

As in, 552mm of rain in 72 hours wet.

That is 22 and a bit inches on the old scale.

So you know the beautiful bridge the the FB has been slaving over for the past 3 months?

Well, lets just say it ain't lookin so pretty now.

We haven't been to see it ourselves, it was too too wet/river too high to get to.  But our next door neighbour has been there.

The FB is understandably upset, and I am too.  It is so hard when you see all your hard work just washed away.

Erk.

On the upside, at least our new tanks and pump weren't delivered yet, so didn't get washed away.

Here are some pictures of the front bridge, during the flood and after the flood.

I will post an update after the weekend.

(with thanks to Bernie West)

During the flood.  It is usually about 2 metres from the bridge to the water.


Louise and Pauls Bridge
All that water.  All that time.

Lucky there is anything left at all.
