A Report from The Old Place

I dropped the wolfling off with her dad earlier this evening, and he told me about how thingts had been Sunday/Monday, during the huge rain.

Starting around 6am on Monday, they started having water coming in under the back door of the basement. They started running the pump, but after a little while it gave out. They ran to Home Depot and bought the last pump in stock, which had a smaller capacity than the one I'd used when I was there. They ran that pump for 12 hours straight.

But that's not all. The water was also coming in through the walls. Construction near that property had interfered with some of the drainage things the Ex had done in previous years -- plus one of the new downstairs folks had dug a hole near the foundation with the intention of putting sealant there. But she hadn't put the sealer on, nor had she filled the hole, which had become a pond right next to the bathroom wall.

So Mr. Shop-Vac also got a workout -- as did my Ex, who had to empty the thing time after time after time.

I am so glad I got out when I did!!
