What a Week
I’ve been offline much of the week, but the worst is now behind me. Last fall,
our "new" house surprised us by allowing inches of water into our basement. Since then, I've been working on fixing the house. The basement has been ripped out to concrete and I've been slowly refinishing things. This past weekend, we had a lot of rain and I discovered that water was still getting into our basement. Fortunately, all the repairs I have made to stop past leakages seem to have worked. Unfortunately, there was so much water in the basement last time, I missed a few spots where water is getting into the house. This time, I found one place where the water is coming in through a wall, and at least one place where water is coming up between the foundation and the wall. Hopefully, these are the last two spots.
The timing makes me wonder if there is some sort of Carnival jinx. I'm not serious, but last time my basement flooded, I was about to host Carnival of the Vanities. Wonder what will happen the next time I host a carnival?
Words of wisdom right there that you would have to become a denzien of my kingdom, were you to ignore it.

What do you mean "next time"? No more carnivals for you!
