At least, that's what I'm claiming. We had So. Much. Rain. overnight on Friday that we didn't just have standing water in the field. No, we had running water all around the house.
The front yard.
The side yard.
The back yard.
Between the garage and the barnyard (where you couldn't see it because it ran through the culvert that is under the driveway and parking area.)
Basically, we had a moat around the house. Which means, therefore, that my house must be a castle. I'm going with that.
As a testament to how well the grading we did around our house when building it works, even with all that water--and more that fell pretty much all day on Saturday--we did not have any water get in the house. Outside, it all drained away from the structure. Inside, in the basement, the sump pump worked just fine and the water going into the sump never got near enough to the top of the crock to seep into the basement. Hooray!
I love my castle. 😁👸
