The woman with the shop VAC

So my saga of water continues...
After another rainy day here, I left work and had to try 5 different routes to get home. All of them seemed to have been flooded, destroyed or trees were down.

I got home and got Toby and Brutus outside for a run, or should I say swim. After that it was all business. Now, I am going to add that Dave is lucky, I do not mind getting my hands dirty or working on stuff that would normally be stereotyped as "manly". I crawled into our crawl space and started on the shop vac, to suck water out. I call it the wet vac, why is it called a shop vac? It just sucks water shouldn't it be called a water vac...

After about 2 hours of working diligently at it, I got annoyed the more water I sucked out the more water that came out. It was getting ridiculous, so I gave up and we had some tomato and mozarella for dinner. Enough is enough!

We proceeded to check everything around the house and called it a night. At this point if the rain keeps up, I am attaching the shop vac to Brutus and making him do it.

I wish I had pictures but I do not, as my digital camera is at Merci's house, otherwise you could have laughed at me sitting in the crawl space begging for mice, snakes and anything else that could be down there to please not come out and say hello...
