What a mess. Its not every year we get 10 inches of rain falling over a course of 3 days but this past weekend left a mess in our house. Craig walked downstairs before church and yelled with the words that make you stop in your tracks "We have water down here!!" He took out the wet/dry vac and got most of the water, we went to church and when we came back....it was worse than before. To spent the rest of the day AND the entire night downstairs with a vacuum trying to stay on top of it. My parents came over to help and maybe they could figure out where the water was coming from. We dug around the house..we dug trenches...it was still pouring in. Monday morning rolled around and it was still coming in...a little slower but still coming in. Our friend, Tim, who is a builder, came over to check things out and ended up staying the whole day working on digging up our yard and replacing the tile that was COMPLETELY blocked with sand and mud. We obviously have cracks in our foundation which need to be taken care of but for now..lets hope this work and we don't get that much rain until we move out of this house!
