Flooded Out



That span across the whole room is what's left for the subfloor. We have a floor to walk on!!!

A mini break in the weather followed by two straight days of rain have led to a flood basement and yard. We had a picture of a previous flood, but it was nothing like this one. There were 3-4 inches in the basement which meant running out for a pump. The picture above is the submersible pump which is about half under water. This pump did not work very well. It kept cutting out which meant Kevin went out and got another one which helped significantly in the backyard.


 You can see the water lines on the tree and birdbath which show just how much water we pumped out of the backyard today and just how much is left. Since we don't stay at the house we have to shut down the pump, especially since we are under a winter storm warning.

There is a local park that is under even more water than our yard. I thought it was funny ducks were using it, but today there were two kayaks and an inner tube. 



Pepsi can in the wall of the bathroom


This prybar was in the wall too, guess we didn't need to buy one
Kevin started on the vent system in the kitchen ceiling.
While he worked on the kitchen I worked on the bathroom. I think with the exception of a span of drywall over the door that was proving to be a pain, the room is stripped and cleaned. 
Garbage can where the bathtub goes.
