Thanks Ozarkgal. No problem with floods around the house but the water does get into a shop building and sometimes a foot or more over the dock.One of the first pictures I put on here shows the dam after a heavy rain.
In warmer weather we sleep with the windows open or on the porch and listen to the water going over the dam.
My house is right on a creek, too. We had to excavate it three times before we got it tamed down during storms.
I love the peaceful sound of water and also enjoy sleeping with the bedroom windows open, weather permitting.
