you wanna talk headache?
i got this pipe coming into the garage where the duster sits

never gave it much thought, other than that it was weird, but oh well
until one fall, we musta had a little higher ground water level then usual, and i noticed that when the sump pump kicked in, water started coming into the house through that pipe
had me stumped for a while, untill i noticed there was a little wood panel under that bucket

and of course, a second sump pit under there
im guessing the pump that belongs in there crapped out and rather then fixing it, the previous owner just covered it up
and off course, i got to have a generator for when the power goes out
