Bailing out the Basement
As you might have heard, Rhode Island recently got a LOT of rain. Rivers crested over their banks and houses got inundated.
We've been relatively lucky. About 10 years ago
we filled and carried more than 100 buckets of water out of the basement (remember Sam and Rachel?).
So we had a sump pump installed and for the past week it's been working around the clock.
We sweep water into the sump pump
and wet vac the rest.
It's still coming in but I think (fingers crossed) that we've seen the worst of it.

Jess: Wow!
ReplyDeleteSam: That's not that bad. (And - I do remember that).
