Well, No, I dont wanna be a mod. This thread is about my grandmas basement flooding like amotherfucker. I think I sucked up 1800 gallons of water, nasty water at that. Probaly more than that, plus what my step dad sucked up, which was just about even with mine. It rained hard for 10 goddamn hours today. All the carpet had to be ripped out, I tore the walls down and took the insulation out, and found two spots where it is leaking. I have no clue how to fix it, Im a mechanic, not a basement leak fixer upper. I sucked this water up for hours and hours today. I just got home. I smell like nasty water. My grandma was almost in tears over this, I felt really bad. I was really happy I could help her out. I would do anything for that women. Shes one of the great ones.

Anyways, My sunday consisted of shop vacing stank ass water out my g-ma's basement. I walked into the basement with a big ole chew of Grizzy Mint in my mouth. I had to walk right back upstairs and throw a perfectly good dip away because I was friggin gaggin from the "water" smell. I got used to it, drank beer, chewed, and ate some fast food that is going to rip me a new one tomorrow.

Oh yea, Im 21 tonight!!! Just turned 21 33 minutes ago. After I left my g-ma's house I went and bought a 6 pack of 16 ouncer Budwieser's. I am now, in front of my computer, smellin like shit, with a fatwieser I just bought....... LEGALLY!!! So, all in all, Sunday was a funday.!

Happy b-day to me, and happy dry basment day to my grandma. Drink on.

back in shit, let me think now... It was one of the years that the northeast got hammered with an unbelieveable blizzard, I think 1993? Anyways, we didnt have a sump pump and we had about 6 ft of snow.... Fill in the blanks here. THE ENTIRE BOTTOM FLOOR had about 7 inches or so of standing, stagnant water! It destoryed so much shit it was unreal. I thought my mom was gonna commit suicide that year. It was awful. We used a shop vac for days cleaning that mess up. Needless to say we're in love with the sump pump we had installed afterwards.
ps. the house is a big bilevel mother daughter house. so the basement is the entire footprint of the house. Theres an upstairs, a landing/foyer, and then the basement.

We celebrate our sump pumps birthday every year, haha you aint kidding its a must. I feel your pain man, cleaning up a flooded basement is miserable work. It smells, its destructive, it can be expensive. I cringe when I think about it.
