Sister A's hubbie V arrives, bringing mom much welcome sports fan talk and more muscle for moving stuff out of the house in preparation for the new cement floor. Mom had been stripping tile for weeks in preparation for a new floor and last week's flood made the decision much easier, cement it is.
We also discovered that water poured in through the street-facing wall floorboards because a section of garage closest to the house was never finished. The garage cement stopped as much as 2.5' from the exterior wall and was just some 2x4s over a 6" deep furrow. The bottom of which has just a layer of large gravel. Aha, no wonder the water flowed in. Two-fer.
But first, welcome b-i-l V! We are so happy to see you. Mom is so happy to see you. Most importantly, the empty sand bags need filling.
