  • Rain sucks!

    After getting home from work today I had a rather nasty surprise waiting for me. I went over to my parents section of the house, and the cats (which they normally put down at night are clawing and scraping at the cellar door). Its not an odd occurance, so I ignore it and chalk it up to them wanting up for the day. It was too early..So about an hour later my father goes down there and the whole basment is flooded.

    I spent 3 hours cleaning the water up with two shop vacs. It sucked, but thank god I moved my stuff out of there a long time ago.









    Turns out the problem is the rain gutters. Previously we had them routed into the sewer system, but the city didnt like that and made a new ordinance that its illegal. So we set pipes down to direct the water however that somehow failed and now pretty much everything in the basment is ruined. Hurray for city planners!

      The worst part was a large pool formed near the cat litter box (pictured). It took a lot of the litter and made a soup like pool (thankfully it wasnt USED litter....eeuughh). It was so slick I almost fell a couple times D;

              It's ammonia, sorry. It produces toxic fumes. It's probably not deadly, but it's a gas you want to avoid inhaling.

                  I don't have a cellar either. In fact, i don't know anyone near me who has. Don't know why, they just don't seem to add cellars to houses round here. And i'm about 600 hundred feet above sea level...
                  Oh well, just have to make do with just an attic

                      We have attics... But they have spiders in them >_> Ergo, I stay clear the fuck away from there (not to mention it's hot as a camel's balls).

                          I get spider webs in my face every night..Then people see me as Im walking back to the car grasping at my face, probably thinking im insane XD

                          Thankfully its winter now and that rarely happens.
