 MR> A good thing happened already though. I was getting ready for bed last
 MR> nightand I noticed several times lately ( which is what was making me
 MR> worry ) Ilooked at the basement as it was raining and had about 1/2
 MR> inch of wateralready and I said, Dang, the storm has not even started.
 MR> I went down, andlooked to see where it was coming from and could not
 MR> pinpoint it. I went overto the crock to see how a new sump pump I put
 MR> in a year or so ago, was doingand the whole crock was full. No wonder
 MR> I was getting this minor floodingalready. I whacked the tube a couple
 MR> of times and the pump kicked in. Whew! itran heavily for about an hour
 MR> and the water receded. This whole time the minorwetness in the basement
 MR> was because the pump was not working. So I am a bitrelieved about that

Good catch.  :)

 MR> now, and this is something I should have realized before,but the wet
 MR> was so minor until Yesterday, so it was a bad thing turned good. Ifeel
 MR> a little bit more confident, I will not have to call the fire dept.
 MR> aslong as we keep power. . 

Here's hoping!  :)  We don't need a sump here, fortunately...  :)
