The rains came down

  " The rains came down & the floods came up"

  Yup we got it. 
 Fortunately the damage was not as bad as some.

Our house is partially day lighted & during all these rains I noticed one of our window wells was full of H2O. Not from the rain coming in, but from rain coming from underneath.  Upon a more thorough investigation we found WATER.

Water in the hall

Water in the batcave

Water in my gals room

WATER, WATER, WATER!

we ripped out all the soaked padding and was able to borrow some big ol' fans to dry the carpet.  My new beautiful carpet. teardrop

Meanwhile, our displaced children camped out for 4 days

The Conclusion: Let's put a sump pump in like the builder was supposed too!!!!

The water filled up as fast as Ryan dug.

We ran it out to the middle of the yard.

Gee whiz I'm glad that's over with.

thanks hubby for all your endless work and calluses

thanks chad for your hard work too!

and a special extra shout out to Logan for his carpet expertise.
