Subject: Re: Daily Chat 06.10.11 by Matatk on 2011/6/10 11:42:17 Good Morning CGs! Had a rough day yesterday so I didn't even get a chance to get on the site. Started the other night with some super heavy rains. We got 4" rainfall overnight. That knocked out the power at about 1 am. Neighbor called me at 3 and said "power's out, check your sump pump". So every half hour until 5:30 I was up checking it. Bone dry. Couldn't figure out why but I wasn't complaining since he had a couple inches water in his basement already. We were on our way to Home Depot at 6 am when the whiff called and said power was back on. So that saved me a bundle right then. By the late morning, all the water had finally saturated the ground and the pump has been running nonstop since then. I am really motivated to put in a batter back up pump, now. I have to protect the basement. Went to work (luckily made it on time) and had a tough day, came home and moved a sprinkler head, checked out the vette and found my serpentine belt was trashed (I'll post on that later) so I changed that. Then I had to get rugrat #2 bathed and ready for bed, and I left for dinner with a couple buddies. Home and in bed at 10:30. Long day  I'll try to catch up on posts tonight. Don - glad to hear the whiff is doing better. Matthew |
