Another fun thing on top of everything - we've started to flood. My day is off to an amazing start.

Oh boy....what about the sump pumps? Are they kicking?

We've had a lot of rain past 36 hrs....like 4 inches...

The sump is working, but whoever designed the basement had the floor slope away from the sump. My mother knows she should have a second sump, but hasn't done it.

It isn't bad flooding, maybe an inch at the very most, not even enough to whip out the portable pumps

Hey get Dutch to dig a hole for another sump. Any water is annoying. Where is the water coming from? The walls or the foundation?

It is coming from the floor. The basement is partially finished so it does make it irritating to find exactly where the source is.

That means it's coming from the foundation....

The foundation is brick? With lime mortar?

yup. since I am sick..I think it is best to have a place to sleep at night and then wake up and go to the interview.
