Flooding at Dave and Mandy's

So yesterday we had a massive amount of rain in just a short period of time and as such Dave and Mandy's pool overflowed and they had gained some waterfalls over the rocks behind the pool. Thus turning their patio into a wading pool of sorts. (Side note : the waterfalls over the rocks would make a GREAT water feature..)

Here's the pics:





This is how half of the water was moved out of the patio area in the first place before the water diversion measures were in place.




Look how pretty the water falls are!!

You probably can't see it as well as I had hoped but the water is actually just coming over the edge of the pool.

The ingenious means of water diversion - which surprisingly worked very well - seemed to keep alot of water out of the patio area.

Well that's a cheap way to do a water feature I guess but probably not the most economical..... good to see you helping your big bro out with cleaning everything up. Hang on I actually can see no evidence of you helping him out just photographic documentation of the event(which is good for me as I would not have been able to see it otherwise)...........LOL

Hey, Bec great photography love the water feature but dave will have to find a way to stop that from happening again, don't forget what I told you about the sand bags.
