Sorry ‘bout that.

It has been a somewhat disastrous month for me.

I am seriously contemplating selling my house. I am not sure I can continue to afford to maintain it. Cost out a new sewer from where the pipe enters the basement floor out to the street. 20 ft of concrete in the basement + 40-50 feet to the street, 10 foot down.

I had it done and my 401k is a lot less now.

New sump pump is running every few minutes in current wet weather. I get home today and there is a sunken area near the foundation where the new sewer runs. Bad fill or sinkhole?

New sump is now draining a lot further away from the house. (this what I was mickey mousing the last hour or so. basement is dry, but sump is pretty full)

Will have the plumbing company out to look at sunken area

End of whining. :)

On the plus side, my internets connection isn’t blipping out today, even though we have had heavy rain and slushy snow falling today.
