First the episode with the ignition switch on my son's car...$650

Next the boat engine overheats and who knows what that will cost.

My wife calls me downstairs at about 9:30 this morning to find our basement
flooded. The sump pump died and we had torrential rain all night. Our
basement is finished and all the carpeting and baseboards are lost, perhaps
even the lower course of drywall.

Well I just got done installing a new 3/4 hp 4,800 gph unit and I have to
wait to let it do it's job. More rain is on the way.

What a wonderful holiday weekend. What a great vacation.

What's next Lord? Come on......what's next!!


Sorry to hear about your problems. One of the big problems with wet
wallboard not being replaced is mold and long term health problems for
all who live in the home.

As far as the slew of troubles, I am a big believer in Karma, maybe you
need to look within for the solution.


Karma can be a bitch. Hope *all* works out with him.

Kick him a few more times when he's down....I believe he's still twitching.
What kind of horse**** is that? I do hope he gets it all worked out.
Hopefully he had sump pump insurance in his homeowners policy (runs about
$25/year) and he'll get a new carpet and refinished basement out of it.

Horse****?

Yeah, I guess it is horse****.

Yep, we (*he*in your world) has an endorsement to cover sewer and drain
backup......$5,000 limit and it runs us $50/year. The cleanup cost
alone will eat that $5,000 up. In case you forgot, today is a
holiday.

Sorry John, our new carpeting and trim comes out of our pocket, as does
any furniture or other losses we will have seen.

Happy? I know Reggie is.



Some time ago, years maybe, I offered up an opinion on our boy "Reggie."
Time has proven me correct.

One would have to be pretty twisted to take my comments to mean I was
joyful at JimH's misfortune. But, that 'twist' has shown itself in the
past, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Sewer and drain backup is not the same as sump pump insurance, which is a
separate line in the insurance. I've gone through the flood in the
basement, about six years ago. Carpets, furniture, walls, etc. ruined. The
insurance paid for all but my $250 deductible.

If JimH does not have the same coverage, which apparently he doesn't, then
I'm sorry for him. But there is no call for his twisted accusations.
