Nah. Watching the sump in the basement.
Lottsa rain. Might flood.
But thanks anyway.

So. How's that pump working?

Which one? I got three. One in the Tramco lift system, one active in
the sump, and one on standby in the sump.

Uh huh. Three pumps. You got three pumps.
And you're talking about buying a Carolina Skiff or a Mac 26,
and you been rattling on about getting a CraigCat.
Hey, be sure to keep posting about stuff you're buying or thinking
about buying. We're all so interested.

Hee hee! You've got the seven drones and their hangers-on down pat.

You have a standby generator to go with them?

No. And last year my basement got a few inches of water when
the power went out soon after heavy, heavy rains began.
Widespread outages.
It was a pain, but since I won't insulate/finish a basement, no big
deal. No damage was done, just some cleanup.
Now nearly all the "stuff" kept here is in plastic bins.
That was the first time there was water in the basement in the 10
years I've been here, so I spent @$500 in watertight storage bins.
We're getting more rain now - supposedly a 50-year deal - but the
power has stayed on.
Except for some throw rugs and the paneling that's here, there's
nothing to get hurt. Unless the water gets high enough to get in my
furnace internals. But I don't think that can happen here, given the
lay of the land.
I've thought about a generator, but probably won't go there.

Although I live right on the coast...my part of the city is about 160 feet
above sea level.
I do have a sump pump because the house sits directly on bedrock and natural
drainage can be slow in very heavy rains & the spring thaw..

Here the major problem is when the storm sewers back up. Got a system
the prevents that. But when the storm sewers get that bad the ground
water is bad enough to soak a basement through the sump if it's not
pumped out.
