Back from gardening! Did some filling in with impatiens and found a permanent (hopefully) home for the lemon balm.
Went under the house to change the furnace filter and see how the sump pump is doing in this dry weather.
The good news: don't need to prime the sump pump.
The bad news: the pipe connection above the check valve is loose so the pump pumps water through the crack and back into the crawlspace.
And it's too early to start drinkin'.
BTW....84 degrees so far in TheSunroom.
