Flooding--for the third time

The Newsons, our flood friends and water saviors, help for the third time!
The Newsons were joined by the Laytons in helping us in clearing out the basement. Thank you so much for helping us in our hour of need! Friends are a blessing!


Water water everywhere

Our basement flooded today for the THIRD time since we have been in this house, which averages out to once every 4 years. Instead of moving, we have flood. Usually this occurs in August, but April it is this time. Can we please be done with flooding? Third time and done? Once again the sheet rock is ripped up, carpet is gone, stuff everywhere in the house and garage, the smell of moisture and the sound of fans and humidifiers fill the air. I think we live under the Big Dipper, and it just keeps dumping water on us. Oh, we were draining the pool, but we really didn't want to drain it into the basement!!
