 MR> Dat is good! Ya? I have a friend about a mile away and crick in the

Well, we are in the city proper, in an area somewhat raised from much of
the surrounding areas, and our basement floor was a thin concrete over
dirt, which has raised in spots and allows any water collecting on the
floor to just drain away naturally into the dirt below... not so good if
we were planning on finishing the basement, but for possible flooding it
works just fine.  House was built about 1900...  ;)  And the nearest
"crick" is the Genesee River, about a mile away...
