Been taking care of Deanna all weekend. The rain started yesterday and hasn't stopped yet. Her basement is seeping water up through the floor. I've been helping her and one of her sons all day with it. Lots of standing water on the road and some of it is impassable. She is on the outer edge of all this rain. I made my way to Lowe's to get a second pump to stay ahead of it. She doesn't need this right now. She put a new roof on about a year and half ago and it's leaking near the chimney. We sealed it this past summer but I think the guy did the flashing around it or the shingles around it wrong. Looks like I'll be over there most weekends when this rain stops trying to help her with it. Time to research how to stop water seeping in through concrete..... I'm guessing this just ruled me out of going to the flog this year....
at my folks hold house, we had the same issue. turns out there were a few cracks in the foundation, and the ground was slightly sloped towards the house, not away from it. fixed both those things and never had an issue in the 2 years they owned it afterwards.

I live way up on top of a hill. If my house floods... the rest of the county is going to be underwater as well.

I'm trying to encourage her to gut it down there and let me help her fix and water proof it. She is really discouraged right now. She just started her new job that gets her out of the red monthly so this is not something she needs.

Monday I gutted the carpet out of Deanna's Basement. Heading back over there this weekend to see what we can do. Jeep is on the back burner. LG and I put the fuel tank skid in place on Wednesday and I messed up on one of the mount holes. So it has to come back off and be welded up and re-drilled.

Alternator on the MJ crapped out while winching some tree stumps a couple weekends ago.
Stock 100A replacement, 4ga wire, and a new belt and she's running like a top. Had the winch cable totally unspooled since I couldn't winch it back in when the alt went out...so we respooled it and the voltage held up better than ever.
Put up the rest of the wife's Halloween decorations...is it weird that we have more Halloween decos than Christmas? We have 9 totes (48 QT min size totes) of Halloween decorations.

Left my house last night at 10pm to drive an hour and a half up the road to trade a guy my stock cloth XJ seats for his stock Minty condition XJ leather seats. Got home at 1:30am.
I am tired.

Been working on helping Deanna clean up after all the rain. Amazing what just 2" of water in a basement will do. A lot of the paneling was already getting mold on it in only a weeks time. Anyone know anyone that can advise me on what to do to stop this from ever happening again? I'm currently looking at Radon Seal.

My basement flooded pretty bad a few years back and I used drylock to seal the floor and walls. I also got a really beefy sump pump. It has rained a lot harder/longer since then and I havent had any problems

If the water table was that high I've heard of people digging a deep hole in the basement and putting a sump pump in a cut up 5 gallon bucket so that the water is drawn to the lowest point, the hole, and then pumped out before its brought into the basement.

My grandpa has a 2 foot deep hole in the center of his basement with a sump pump in it.
