As the old saying goes

Crap on a stick.

7 inches of rain in 24 hours, roughly. Good thing I'm a husband who helps with housework, or we would have been in deep crap. I went to change over the laundry late last night before bed and noticed water, just a touch. Turns out that it was seeping up from the ground, it had no where to go....

I stayed up all night with the wetvac and some pumps and made sure it stayed managable, washer and dryer are good, as was the furnace and water heater. We put the toys and books high up, and dirty laundry in bins so nothing gets ruin.

But I didnt sleep. At all. Kim came down and relieved me at 6am...but I was wired and layed down but really didnt sleep. Then my father and brother came over and we broked the concrete on the low point and dug a hole and dropped a sumppump in....and its all good and working on its own.

Its wet downstairs...but ok. Man staying up all night is interesting.....
