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!!

The flood waters have risen too high for cars to drive though. The fire
department stops and offers the man a ride to safety. He say, Thank you,
but I'll trust in the Lord to save me.
With the flood waters rising the rescue crew pulls up in a boat and offers
the man a ride to safety. He says, Thank you, but I'll trust in the Lord to
save me.
The man is sitting on his roof to escape the flood waters. A rescue
helipcopter flies over and the crew offers to take the man to safety. He
say, Thank you, but I'll trust in the Lord to save me.
The man drowns.
At the gates to heaven the man asks St. Peter why the Lord failed him in
spite of his faith.
St. Peter says, He sent you a firetruck, a rescue boat, and a rescue
helicopter. What more did you want!

You're doing all right; you went out and got a new pump. Now start praying.
Good luck, Jim.

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.

I'd be renting or buying a healthy sized dehumidifier. Some wallboard
is purposefully hung wet. The mission, at this point is to get
everything as dry as possible as soon as possible....

.... no guarantees :-(

We are waiting for a professional water cleanup team to show up. We have a
residential grade dehumidifier running already and fans on for circulation.
We got everything up off the floor.

The carpeting vacuumed dry by these guys, then torn out. I already have a
call into our insurance company to notify them that we hired a professional
company to mitigate damages.

After all the water is sucked up they will be placing 2 industrial sized
dehumidifiers and some heavy duty fans to help dry things out.

Looks like things will be under control once they show up and go to work.

That's about all you can do. I have a sump pump also that I keep an eye on.

Unbelievable that some folks get some sort of twisted pleasure hearing of
other folks problems. Instead of offering a word of hope they kick you in
the balls with a smile on their face.

Karma? My ass.

Look within yourself Reggie for some compassion and understanding. Then go
take a flying leap and screw yourself. I don't need that type of crap from
you, especially today and especially after all the crap I just went through.

Anyway.......

Looks like the emergency work.........water extraction, carpet tear out and
floor cleanup/disinfectant job........will run around $5,000 alone seeing it
happened on a holiday. Then we have to replace the carpet and
trim....probably another $2,500.

Add to that the cost of the boat engine repair staring at me.........while
having 2 kids in college.

I bet that makes Reggie really happy.

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.
