The biggest element I fear is water in a house.
The damage can be overwhelming.
And in Michigan, we're special...
much of us is clay and therefore
rain doen't drain very well.
We need HELP for our basements & out buildings.
Here's the formula:
PLUS
EQUALS
water doesn't stand in one's basement
nor does it flood.
Well...in the new house, although I called Edison (power) last Friday
to transfer the account to me,
the Seller had cancelled service and
it didn't get turned on till 4:40 yesterday afternoon.
Thank God the contractor went there last eve to get a few more
measurements before our meeting this evening - and found gushing water...
(from the rain over the weekend).
He fixed it, it's pumping and now I need to go find that
old box fan to run down there to dry it out.
There's a place for water and in a home is not one of them.
Off to meet the contractor with my fan.
(Hey, even the Washington Monument has a few cracks these days!)
