you mean they're cutting you loose on your own???...oh.. god help the pedestrians where you live..
..jk..
haha
.. yes I should have checked it earlier..
. well I did check it out.. it seem to be working.. I performed a.. operational check..it checked out.. what I did not notice... is when I had the new freezer delivered.. they set a corner of it down.. on the sump pump hose..ohhh no ohhh yess..
so the back pressure just kept shutting the pump off..ohh yess..lol..
so during the storm.. I'm getting water and freaking out.. at this pump..
. now at this point I'm getting quite a bit of water..ohh no.... but luckily.. it is in just the mechanical room in the basement.. the laundry room, furnace and my stockpile are in there along with the hot water tank.. but my saving grace is.. when the city's.. main water main broke a while back.. and flooded out the entire basement..
Ohh no ohh f.n yess..lol.. well when I renovated after that.. I put everything up on blocks. 24 by 24.. sidewalk blocks... thinking just in case anything ever happen again.. it would buy me some time.. and what do you know it did..lmao... ok back to my pump... so thinking the pump was broken.. son of a box of raisins..lol..
I rushed off to the hardware store.
leaving my oldest.. to hold back the flood.. with the shop vac.. the best he could... so of course I get to the hardware store.. and everybody with issues with water is looking to buy pumps..ohhh..nooooo...
but me being me... seeing that the pump I need is no longer in stock..
. goes over to the. department manager.. who I know because I do a lot of business with them... and get him to sell me the demo model... yaaaa.. for me.. too bad for the people... that. did not think of this..lol..
. so I get home.. change out the pump quickly.. and the hose keeps blowing off..hmmm..wtf.. put it back on.. it blows off.. water in my face... now I'm getting upset... Milo Justin Thomas.. to the lifeboats..lmao.. save yourself.
the captain must go down with the ship..lmfao... now it takes me a minute to figure out what's going on..
look behind the freezer.. see that the hose is pinched... corrected that issue.
pump starts to work.. I look at Thomas.. shake my head.. and he looks at me and says.. well at least now you have a spare pump... I could have kissed him.. he was so cute...
but its all good now.. basement is dry pumps are working... so they're giving you the keys too the bus...
that's exciting.. they won't let you take the bus home.??
