Thank goodness I was working from home, or else we would have had some seriously unhappy dogs. As it was, I spent the best part of the morning wringing out towels which I had to use to catch the water coming in under the sliding door...
The camera on the Blackberry does not do the weather justice as you can't really see the rain coming down in sheets...
On the Wednesday, I got the landlady's DIY guy to come out and see what could be done about the water coming in under the door and discovered his rates. I've been thinking of starting up a handyman business for a while and at R280/hr, plus cost of materials (no doubt with a "handling fee" added) and R3.50 per kilometre travel, I think it might be a viable business. The estate agent who looks after the house has been asking whether I still wanted to do the handyman thing, as she has a number of jobs to be done and no-one to do them for her. It appears that all the handymen are so busy, they just don't bother getting back to her on the small jobs. I reckon it might be possible to make up to R30k a month at those rates, so maybe it's something I need to do...
