Good grief the basement has water in it again! I’m not sure if I should clean it up or build an Ark. Regardless, it’s a mess and I’m a bit crabbed out about the whole thing. Sure, water in the basement is part of owning an old home, but twice in a month is getting old. We’ve lived here for 10 years and have only had this much water probably 2 other times until this month. Worse news is that more rain is predicted for this afternoon. Grrrrrrr.
Pretty Pretty Bang Bang 
Bummer – I hate that you keep having to deal with an indoor swimming pool. I wonder what the situation is like in my old home – probably similar to yours. You may need an extra glass of wine tonight to keep from whining!
Well, I don’t think that being upset about water in my basement is the same as whining! However, I won’t hesitate to use it as an excuse to drink wine!
