WATER EVERYWHERE
....literally.... most of you know that we live on a hill, but that doesn't seem to matter when you get downpours. We discovered last night that we had water in our basement. Larry decided to look after seeing a pond in our backyard. Sure enough. It was coming in through our window well. There was about 3 inches sitting in there. So this week will be busy--need to get all the drywall and insulation out before it starts to stink!! We've already had 6 inches in 8 days! Correction--Larry informed me I was a little low on the amount of rain. He said he heard that we had 4-6 just this past weekend so lets just say we've had rain--and water is literally everywhere.

Sorry to hear that! We've had that problem too. Water would fill up our window well and run in down the wall. Thankfully that's on the unfinished side of the basement. Damon filled in with dirt along side the house & buried a drain extention hose and that seems to do the trick.
you got off lucky. Justin heard that we had around 11-12" last weekend. Regardless, that's too much water.
