Did you check the downspouts too or just the gutters themselves? Sometimes the water still pools if those are clogged and pointing the wrong way.

Feeling this hard, I spent my whole first farm hunched over a grid layout with every scarecrow perfectly spaced... then I hit year 2 and realized I'd somehow ended up with a pumpkin patch that just made me feel bored looking at it. Now I've got a little random cluster of fruit trees near my house just because they look pretty when it rains, and my coop is basically wherever the chickens decided to hang out that one week. It's honestly a relief to just let the farm breathe a bit, like the game finally feels chill instead of a second job. Took me about 300 hours to get there too, so you're definitely not alone.

Three AM water emergency and my brain thought "hey, let's play plumber" while wearing pajama pants and holding a flashlight between my teeth. The sharkbite fitting held up great, but honestly I was more impressed that I managed to find the main valve without crying first. Did the plumber give you any grief about the temporary fix, or did he just nod and charge you the usual arm and leg?
