It is pretty bad Jadnashua. I thought, honest to God, that water would leak in from the foundation. So, do you think taking out the glass sliding door and bricking it up would do any good? I will tell you my thought on it, honestly, I really didn't think it would. But, I was just assuming, knowledge from nowhere.
They do get the sandbags from the firedept, and I think, once or twice, they came and pumped some out. But, I know Jad, it took a long, long time to dry out. Last time, the flooring had to go, some of the wall coverings, etc. They shut there heat off, cause the furnace gets flooded. But, I think, they still reuse it after cleaning it. They never, yet, ever got it replaced. There stream became a raging river.
About the fish, I told them, to catch some, lol. Hey, make hay while the sunshines. They just got there power back today, electricity, phone...
Never saw the Netherlands, never saw a dike. I don't think. Thank you for your response Jad.
