Thanks for the good thoughts! We never did get pumped out last night as the FD wanted the power out in the house and our power company never showed up to make the disconnect. * However, the good news is that the water in the basement has begun to recede and a friend will be coming by around noon with a pump to remove the rest.

Also on the good news side is that my wife and that friend had just finished going through most things in the basement last week and the boxes affected are all things that were set aside for an estate sale that will take place after we leave for FL. The boxes going south were moved up out of the basement and into the garage last week too! Maybe mother nature is telling us we should clean the basement floor?

Hopefully we'll be able to say afterward that it was, relatively speaking, as inconvenient as tee'ing off and having your golf ball sail into the pond; just a temporary setback that you'll soon forget about!

* I mentioned in my first post that the power company had arrived. Actually they just assessed the situation and didn't disconnect at that time. They were supposed to return a second time and didn't!
