Good luck with the repairs. I've been there without a working heater during winter so I know how awful that can be. We're still under flood warnings as well, but fortunately us po' folks we can't afford river front properties or basements.

Sorry to hear that; it was raining hard here in Toronto, but no flooding. So far the drains are keeping up with the rain. Glad the water heater survived. Wish the same for the furnace. Winter is not over yet; not for another couple of weeks.

GOOD LUCK! We just celebrated living here in SW PA 26 years. Of course, the last 20 years, I've been renovating and the last thing was a gravel (well done gravel) driveway because we are gonna have some storm water issues with these older homes in the windy, hilly Pittsburgh area. It's a fact, Jack! I hope you guys come through this okay.

Sorry to hear this OB, but as you being an old Navy guy I have the utmost confidence in you to deal with this frustrating problem.

Thanks for all the good wishes in the wake of my Basement Disaster. I'll be writing a post on how great the plumbers and the HVAC guys were, and even the claims adjuster. Plus how this happened the day after I found out the Biden Regime and the Congress moved the date I can get my full Social Security another 7 months.

If you're in your 60s, better check the new retirement age. Forbes first wrote about it 3/29 or 3/30. I can't write about it now because I know too many interesting historical methods of execution AND I'm still angry about it.
