Water sucks!
 

Friday evening, rain pours into our window wells. Leaves me with 1 1/2 feet of water in my wells before I realize. 2 inches of water in my - luckily unfinished - basement. Makes me clean up until 1:30am and makes me miss drinking beer.

Last night, God thinks I haven't had enough. Now, rain leaking in through the damn basement walls. I catch it early. But I'm have to go out in the pouring freakin' rain, with a broken shovel - damn dad took my good one - and dig trenches away from the house. 1 1/2 hours later, I made a little progress and the water leak is down to a dribble.


DAMN YOU WATER!!! DAMN YOU!

Wow. I didn't think it had rained that much. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

GAAAAAAAAAATORADE!

Geez, not you too.

build a berm(hope that is the right term for a hump of dirt) around the foundation. Looks better than a ditch and the wife gets a new flower bed

I don't actually live in Springfield. South Central Kansas. It rain like a mutha fugger here.

I happen to like water.

What a n00b :p


btw sorry to hear about your problems plow.

Subpump?

Most ran directly to the sump pump. But some I had to force there.

n00b.

I had the same problem about 4 years ago. Water came from all the neighbors into our backyard and went over the top of our window wells. Ended up putting a berm on the west side of our back yard and a waterway on the east side. We have a storm drain under our east fence and when we dug the waterway there just happened ;) to be a hole in the storm drain pipe at the end of the waterway.

Time to build a french drain.
