[QUOTE="witzend, post: 334986, member: 99"] He's going under the house [I]any minute now[/I]. Mind you, he's just getting started at 11:30 AM when he's actually been back from an early appointment since 9:15. [I]And[/I] I had to make him put snack food away and start actually doing something instead of "thinking about it". Theory is great when you're talking the unknown, but getting in there and doing is the only way it becomes known. One of my suggestions to him was that we pump the water into the downspout drain. He isn't sure that the thing drains properly into the street, so he runs a hose through it and decides that it doesn't. I remark that perhaps that is one reason why so much water is in the crawl space. He suggests that he dig a new drain for the downspout. :nonono: How about if you [I]just empty the water out of the crawl space[/I] first?:surprised1: [/QUOTE]
