Water issue number 1

Turns out there are three water-related issues with our house which have become apparent during the past couple of months as we have experienced ridiculous amounts of rain. The first is the washout through our section of the clay cliff that sits behind the house...


That's a clay river washing down from the cliff, and around the fences where it forms a puddle of clay on the lawn...when it dries, it is a solid clay platform. When we moved in there was evidence of this, but we had assumed it was some sort of old sandpit or something...

We're glad we didn't do any landscaping before now, as it would all have either washed away or been covered by this. I'm not sure how we will eventually address it, but for now we're just letting it accumulate. So attractive!

We have bigger problems towards the front of the section...
