Good one. Sleep could escape one in this circumstance. I remember when I was a child we moved into a house which my parents we now buying(a farm). When the first rain came, it took all the pots and buckets and anything that would hold water to get the leaks. LOL..Wasn't funny that night. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara
