Feels like "Fantasia"...

We've been bailing out part of the basement by hand for 60 mins, every 4 hours to keep up with the seepage (basically, to take the standing water level down by 2 inches).

Good thing that Tracy and I are in relatively good shape: she fills a bucket and carries it to the stairs, which I take up and out the bilco doors to dump on our second driveway - away from the foundation. Definitely tiring, but we seem to do allright so far.

And our sump pump keeps the rest in check like a trooper. Been kicking in since 3am yesterday. Not sure how long before the water table gets back to normal... at least the rain has mostly stopped, and our forecast for the rest of the week is sunny and 60s.
