Surprise! Your Basement is flooded.


I has been raining hard for the last week and when I say hard, I mean hard. I grew up in Oregon, so I know about rain, but boy this past week has been wet. Yesterday, I went down in my "dry" basement to switch out a load of laundry. There was a bit of standing water against one wall. I thought it might have come from the dryer. European dryers are condensers. Which means after each load you have to empty out a small bucket of water. You don't want to get me started on that. I would LOVE an American dryer. I cleaned up the little bit of water and blamed it on the dryer.

This morning I woke up and went downstairs to transfer laundry and there was about 3 inches of standing water against the same wall. To say the least I was bummed. I bailed to water into a bucket, all the while thinking this is a guys job. There are just times when it would be nice to hand the honey do list over to someone else.

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."
