5" of rain here last week - about 1-1/2 in the last 48 hours - snow showers this afternoon + 30 mph winds. Welcome Spring!
Oh yeah, our sump pump went out last week. Luckily it was stuck 'on' so our basement didn't flood and we were home when this happened and shut the pump off before it got too hot (and could have caught on fire). Of course this all happened starting at 9:30 pm when all the stores were closed.
I went into Mrs. McGyver mode and cobbled together enough parts to use a spare pump for the night.
