Water, Water Everywhere

Over this past week my basement was a casualty of the record level rain fall on the East Coast. We’ve never gotten more than a small puddle in my basement and usually only during spring thaw. But week had a good inch of water covering a larger portion of my basement than ever before. I dragged cardboard boxes and bags of joint compound out of 2 inch puddles. In the meantime, my unhappy daughter was shrieking from her play pen upstairs. I would have gladly traded places with her. My basement is just beginning to dry out and here comes the rain again. This may be a very long and rainy autumn.
