Just worked out we've used almost the same amount of power in the last month as we did in the 3 months before it combined.

Massive puddle of water found at back of house - so much that it's soaked into retaining walls.
Checked the neighbours back yard as I thought it was coming from there. Nope.
I don't even know where to start.![]()
I hate this house. I truly, truly hate it.
If I EVER meet Murphy, I'm going to stab the prick.

Footy pie is in my guts and it was delicious.

One day it's too hot and dry for folks, the next it's too bloody wet for them. I embrace all the conditions.

Wet weather usually doesn't bother me, especially in the 4wd. But when it took me 2.5hrs to get to work, that gave me the sh1ts.

Why is it that everyone turns into muppets when driving in the wet??

You're lucky, you have a really short drive to work. In fact, if you used the back streets, you wouldn't have to put up with traffic at all!

It's possible it is coming through the retaining wall from higher ground next door without being visible over the fence because it is flowing through next door's sub-soil rather than over the surface.
Up here in the hills I have a spot where the garden area around my house is cut into a cliff face, and, from about May till October, you can see water oozing out of the soil and cracks in the rock face constantly. I've had to put in extra drainage to reduce its tendency to flood the back verandah when rain adds to the flow, as the old drains had clogged up over time.
It usually pays to have the highest block in the area, but that's why those blocks cost more.
