disaster yet again

Im cursed. Or this house is cursed. The basement flooded yet again,worse than the last time. Why? Because the cheap *** chinese made sump pump quit for some reason. Weird because it's now working just fine,so maybe the float got jambed up? Even just the idea of a sump pump is flawed. After all,whatcha gonna do when the power goes out?

I'd like to send all the stripped out basement material to the pump manufacturer...

Anyways,the good news is the damage is covered. The bad news is the deductible is $2500....

Broke again for a long time will be my status. It's no wonder I can never afford more than a hundred bucks here and there for my Dart.....

My thought's are to engineer the pump out of the equation. Fill the trough at the back of the house basement with crushed rock,cap it off and pipe it outside to drainage tile. Gravity never quits,so this will work even if my power kick's out.

Aint life grand ?:blob:
