Sorry-We neglected to tell you how Sleepy Hollow faired during all the awful flooding in SW Wisconsin.
As we thought, everything was fine. Just a little water in the basement. Steve has designed the layout of the landscape to channel water away from the house and into the ravine--and it worked perfect! No washouts in the yard, hill or driveway at all. Perfect.
Some of our neighbors didn't come out as well. The Knapp Creek that runs through our property and down into the Hollow was WAY out of it's banks. Parts of Sleepy Hollow Road were washed away. A brand new intersection just completed this summer at the corner of South Sleepy Hollow Road and Sleepy Hollow Road was ruined. And our neighbors driveway (a town road) Oak Street was washed out real bad.
We have taken photos and put them on our webshots if you are interested.

Thanks to all that inquired about the Hollow and showed concern.
