So we came home after all, remind me why we did that please... someone?
The trip on the way home was crazy! First we crawled up the mountain and then we parked on the highway about 5ks out side of Braidwood, the traffic was phenomenal. Nathans super long way there would have been a better way to take home, but Nathan didn't want to risk the low bridge being flooded and I would have resisted going that way so we took the highway.
The damage that we sustained is so much worse than we expected especially to the yard. It is so disappointing to see so much mess and to know that we have lost so much. All that work that we put into the pavers is probably for nothing, but we wont know until we lift what looks like 3 inches of bark. The water was strong and high enough that it actually turned one of our hay bales sideways, there is a mark on Mrs Keenan's fence that is at least 50cms high, and the water was up and over the second back step, it is crazy!
The shed went under about 10cms of water, ruining anything on the floor, which sadly includes a few of the baby things, too much technology, tools, all of the exercise equipment and Nathans French pictures that he picked up on his last Europe trip. I spent a fortune getting them framed for him, they certainly tipped us over the edge from being OK with it all, to being upset. If only I didn't pull them down months ago to paint the lounge room, or maybe I should say that I should have put them back up when we decided to wait. Now the fun of dealing with the insurance agency begins, I hope it goes smoothly
