My parents came to visit this past week. They arrived on Saturday evening in time for dinner. Sunday we found water under our house and so my dad set up the sump pump and we got the water level down. There is about 8 inches of water but Jim has our water heater up on a platform so the water has not reached it yet. The level has not changed in the past few days. Monday my dad went down under the new part out our house and dug down and put a big barrel in the ground for the sump pump. By the end of the day he had the pump working on its own. We have had over a foot of water under that part of the house since last Monday. We have been running the pump by hand every couple of hours. If the pump is not in the ground the float does not work so we had to turn it on and off. Dad also helped Jim dig a ditch to bury the drainage pipe.

My mom wanted a picture of the side of our house.
