Replace baseboard auto bleed valves, bleed lines, turn furnace on, tile shower, epoxy garage floor, MTB. Think that's about it.

Oh, first raking session.

Minor amount of water in the basement here, I had the foresight to elevate EVERYTHING in my basement off the floor when I remodeled it 5 years ago, so no damage. Wet n dry shop vac and a little bleach and done. Gonna start playing around with my PuderLuder/Jondrum binding inserts for that sweet swapability feature.

yeah - our stuff is off the ground too.. Water came up about 2 feet..
Our house is 100 years old.. Field stone foundation..

The water comes up and goes down.. just as quick... I'll run the dehumidifier..

Friday, work from home, safety meeting, and heading out to dinner with some friends later.
Saturday, not much going on. I want to start planning out a full basement remodel.
Sunday, I have the day to myself. Not sure how I'm going to best use this time.

his was a very bad storm here in NNY

We had 5 inches here in NNY

I spent most of the afternoon and last nite BAILING out Had to go buy a 6 hp wet dry vac with pumping capability . Had several inches in the basement in 2 separate areas about 10 ft long X 3 ft wide . It was coming so hard and fast for 12 hrs in a row that my 3 hp wet vac couldn't keep up with it . As soon as i 'd finish it was flooded again at a depth of about 1 - 1.5 inches

. The furnace and all appliances and any storage areas are all on platforms so nothing is at risk .My floor drain line was a godsend and did its thing ---but finally around 10 pm the storm shifted east we're dry today . Luckily it was limited to these 2 major spots and not the entire basement ., which by the way is strictly a basement not living space . Schools all over the area are closed . roads are flooded

This is the second storm of this ferocity in a month -- C'mon winter DAMMIT

Probably pulling the boat off its mooring this weekend. Going to be in Ireland for the next 2 weekends, then in Tennessee, so it'll be November before we could go out on the boat again, and it'll probably be too chilly then.

A couple of my friends are doing the rugged maniac race. I might go watch, the course is about 5 minutes from my house.
