Thanks to Greg, we now have a sump pump temporarily installed in the basement. Here’s the outflow — the rain has stopped, but water continues to come in.
Here we see my little condensate pump — designed to pump condensation from central air or from a dehumidifier — putting up what wound up as a losing battle against incoming rainwater. Newton would wind up getting over 9″ of rain over 3 days.
We don’t have cable TV. We get all our TV over the air. MythTV records it all. This weekend I installed the PC that holds our MythTV system into a new case — complete with scrolling text display — that fits into our entertainment unit.
