Basement Helpers

The past few days we got an enormous amount of rain and like everyone else around us, we got water in the basement! Ugh! We had our basement waterproofed a few years ago - french drain and a new sump pump! The horrible part is that is came from our chimney - it was in bad condition and the strong winds and rains just made more cracks in it and pieces just chipped away. Brian spent the better part of two days using the shop vacuum and towels to try to keep the whole basement from getting wet - special thanks to Doug for his help! Of course, the boys had to help!

Brian did a great job!

Sean tried his best in underwear and rain boots!
The inevitable fight over the vacuum!
