Its tough, and the mental aspect of not being able to stop it is difficult to deal with. Mine is unfinished but a lot of things were thrown out during the last big storm, some of my tools have rusted and to be honest the basement never fully dried.

I am certainly going to make some improvements once this gets all dried out.

My business partner's house is 30 years old and has never had a drop of water in the basement. Spent much of the day getting him set up with pumps to remove the water. Finished basement too

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Norm , I have one house with 5 feet of water in it.
the owner left for england yesterday and said the pump was working fine.

The electric panel was 1/2 way under water. had to have the power to the house shut off, so the fire dept. would pump it down.

The sad part is I don't think we have seen the worst of it yet.

Unless you are fortunate enough to have flood insurnace (many have never had any water as many have stated) so they will not see much in the way of financial assistance from the insurance assho......I mean....insurance companies! I am hearing $2,000.00 max on homeowners???
