Due to recent rainstorms that have deluged us with so much water, I now have a moat around my house.  While not the largest moat in the US, I bet it’s the only one in Northern Virginia.  Now all I need is some vicious predators to run wild in it, keeping out evil doers.

Moat around house

and that water runs halfway around the other side.  I had to get out my pool pump that sits on top of the pool cover during the winter season in order to prevent real damage to the foundation.

Moat around house, emptied.

mostly gone.  That was a ton of water in there.  What’s great, not a drop or foul smell in the room on the other side of the crappy cinder blocks and concrete, yea!
