User ID: 20986526 United States 03/13/2019 02:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just need to vent. We are not in a flood zone so flood insurance is really cheap, but mostly unnecessary. I've been telling my husband for two years we need to get it. I've had a feeling that even though we are in zone x it would happen. Call it intuition, whatever. My husband is in Cuba, so Murphy's Law comes into effect. It's been like this since he left a year ago. He kept telling me no, it's a waste of money, we have two sump pumps yadda yadda. Yes two sump pumps for a 1400sq ft fully finished basement. Now I have to deal with this on my own. First my roof, then the appliances all go out, and now a flooded basement. I had to shovel a waterway throughout my backyard. I'm talking two feet of snow, slush and ice. That moved the river of water away, now I have to try to figure out what to do about my basement. I'm NOT a feminist, I miss my husband right now. Thank you for listening. Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
