water, water everywhere

Rain continues to fall in southern Alberta, many areas have been subject to a flood warning and the rivers are at a very high level.

One of my work colleagues has just left the office to go home and start putting up some sandbags. Two main rivers run through Calgary, the Bow and the Elbow. The Elbow in particualrly has caused trouble for homeowners who live close to it. Many people have experienced flooded basements. So far we have been ok, I did a little caulking of our chimney during the summer so we should be good.

We are all getting a little tired of the rain but although it has eased off I think we will have showers for a few more days, then I fully expect a much deserved summer.

Caulk is a silicone based sticky stuff that you can put on windows, chimney flashing or anywhere there is a seam or join. It basically is a glue that provides a seal.
