A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

The generator's holding. Fuel's clean.

Check the rain tank overflow - water's backing up into the foundation again.

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's still coming down, warm as bathwater. Generator's stable now after that fuel line bleed. Should've checked it proper before the storm hit.

Check the overflow pipe. It's probably clogged with leaves again.

Wince as I shift weight off my ankle, reaching for my notebook to mark the new water line on the stone.

💭 peek at the thought

If that water doesn't drain, the rot will take the whole south wall by morning. I can't even stand up to help.

Right. I'll clear it. You mark the line steady - don't let the pain make you rush.

Check the overflow pipe for blockages, clear debris from stone basin at base of overflow, verify water flows freely before returning to generator test.

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. Another leaf clog right there would've meant flooding worse than the rot I saw yesterday. Good thing I noticed the backup before it reached the floor sills.

I'm steady.

Draw a precise, horizontal line on the whitewashed stone at the current height of the water.

💭 peek at the thought

He thinks it's just a line. He doesn't see the wood softening under the paint.

🔧 Kevin01:25

Good work. I'll get the pipe cleared.

Clear overflow pipe debris, test flow rate, mark second water line if it rises further during clearing.

💭 peek at the thought

She's steadier than she was. The antibiotics must be working. That line shows just how much it's risen since yesterday - almost six inches.

Be careful with the brush.

Sit on the porch step, leaning my back against the stone wall, watching the rain pour off the roof.

💭 peek at the thought

If that water rises another inch, the foundation is going to be ruined. My ankle is throbbing with the humidity.
