Drying Out

      That's what the basement is doing.  I ran the sump pump until right before leaving-for-work time, coiled up the hose and power cords, and by the time Tam was back from the doctor,* the floor drain was draining.  I left the dehumidifier on "always on."

     The basement was still pretty damp when I got home from work, but aside from a laundry basket that had ended up in a low spot, things were drying out.

     There's one rainstorm, and it was a doozy, with record flooding to the North of Indy -- Kokomo and Elwood were claiming it was the worst ever.  I don't know about that; photographs of the flooding in 1913 look even worse.  But it's awfully close.

     Here's hoping we don't get rainfall for quite that long and at that rate very often.
