Brown outs, when it happened parts of the surrounding areas did go off.

Rained all night which was nice.

Lightning hit something nearby which set off all alarms lol. Electric fence been ticking loudly since then

It's quite nice to wake up to the sound of thunder.

Sounds of thunder in Wilgeheuwel, parts of the area still haven't been restored.

Normally around late September you can expect some rain, not quite as hectic as this was.
I thankfully did my paint job in June, but my son in law did manage to chip some plaster off the wall when he was putting up gutters, so will need to fix that up and get more paint .
Also for a first timer on the gutters he did a 90% good job, just the one tricky section at the back is still a bit of an issue, but it's greatly reduced.

I are happy I sorted out the leaky valve on the jojo tank on Tuesday. Just in time.
