Kathie to answer your question.....YES!!!!
As you can see I haven't run the last few days. Let my tell you how my days have gone. Monday night walked down into my basement (it has only been done for about 7 months) to find our living room full of water. Needless to say, Brad and I grabbed the shop vacs and started to remove the water. At 1:30 am we turned in for bed (still water in the basement, but not as much).
Tuesday, up early to get as much water out of the basement before I had to go to work. Came home, more shop vac and a big back hoe to dig up the outside to find the problem. We had determined it wasn't coming from the house. Again up until about 12:00 and then went to bed.
Wednesday started the same as Tuesday. Came home from work to find a huge hole dug up in the back, side and front yard. We have a pond under our home. Brad spent the rest the night Wednesday trying to get the water to flow away from the home. I was doing the Shop Vac, AGAIN!!!!
Thursday, Brought in some more equipment, gravel and all of my husbands friends....boy does he have some great friends. Still in the process of trying to get the ditch dug to get the water from the house to the ditch in front of the house.
We think the cause of all of this is when the new road was put in front of our home they damned (is that the right way to spell that?, doesn't matter I feel like saying it :)!!) up all the natural springs....they had to settle somewhere, lucky us...it was our home
Just to let you know our house is for sale if anyone wants to buy it.....it comes with it own indoor swimming pool :) (I am just Kidding)
Don't know what kind of running I will get in tomorrow......This has not been a good year for me.!!!!! |
