When It Rains, It Pours Part 2

Well, it's Thursday evening at about 10:30pm and we finally finish slopping out the HUGE puddle we had at the side of our house. It took the 2 of us in sandals, rain jackets and buckets to get that "puddle" down to the minimum. Wackie had to get onto the roof to gut out the gutters and it appears our eavesdrops just pools water in it. Then as I was checking our basement for leaks, it first appeared to be okay, until I saw another big puddle. Yep, our basement leaks! I mopped up 2 gallons of water in our future office space and place markings on all the nail holes that are leaking and the cracks that need re-sealing. Right now, Wackie is sealing those nail holes. We quickly called our contractor and guess what?!? He has 8 inches of water in his basement! Sigh... the joys of buying an old house in an old neighborhood.
All I can say is, thank goodness we are seeing all this now and not when all our walls and carpet are in.
Please stop raining!!!!
