Mother Nature curse you! We had to cancel our St Patty's Day plans to mop-up. My version of the wearin of the green was my flood/fishing outfit.
It's been 4 days since the rain stopped, and groundwater is still welling-up in the basement. I have 2 pumps going to try to stay ahead of the subterranean tide.
Starting to dry-out a bit, but the clean-up will take many days (and many trips to the dump).
People have been helpful. Thanks to the Fire Dept for loaning me an industrial strength pump to get rid of most of the water. Thanks also to my water savvy friend who loaned me the 2 pumps I am running now. One neighbor stopped by yesterday with two big fans and a nice bottle of Chardonnay.
Perhaps she was impressed by the sight of me in my hip waders.

We got the heat back on yesterday, but still no hot water.
Hoping to see a plumber today...

Wow! and to think we were bummed by our slight seepage of water into our normally dry basement. Thanks for posting! Your misfortune has certainly lifted our spirits!
We all need someone to feel superior to. Glad to be of service.
