Rain, Rain

We got 1.8" of rain on Tuesday night. So today's accomplishment was that Bert put some blocking under the back of the house and he put a sump pump into the basement so he could get some of the water out. It looked pretty decent by evening. No standing water, but the soil is soaked. This may cause a bit of delay in sliding the house over. We'll see how the ground dries up and how soft it is.


A bit of blocking to keep the house steady.

The footings and basement base. Sump pump is in the center of the photo.

 The sump pump in its temporary hole. Big thanks to our neighbor for allowing us to use his electricity.


Improvised way to get the water away. Pipe from sump goes into a ready mix chute and away from the basement.
