I shored up my shop by doing a little prevention....

... the basement/shop has flooded 5 times in a 30 year period.. twice in the last two weeks...
Last sunday, I cut the floor and installed a pump.. ran 50' of drainage pipe( under ground) out back for the pump to empty into...

this should be much more effeciant than the swimming pool cover pump and shop vac I used in the last battle...


I really feel for some of those folks.. for some, there isn't a pump big enough to stop the water from ruining their basements and in some cases their houses...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
