This sucks ass

[Buddy_Christ]

When we looked at this place, we asked the landlord if the basement leaked. "Nope, it's dry. The only time it's ever flooded is when that hurricane rolled through here in September. Other than that, it's always dry."

Ok, it started raining last night. By noon today there was over 1" of water in one part of the basement and it was starting to come through in other parts. Keep in mind, my desk and computer are fucking down here.

The water in one area of the basement has reached 3". Neighbor (landlord's daughter) called daddy so he could bring over the pump. We're alternating the pump for the rest of the night I guess.

It's gotten a little wet around the backside of my desk, pretty much just damp.

I dunno what I'm more pissed about right now - the fact that my basement is fucking half flooded or the fact that my new boots aren't fucking waterproof like they should be.

We've gotta move when this lease is up. Between the douchebag landlord and the bitching and whining neighbor, I don't think I can take much more. Nice fucking lie too..."nope, basement doesn't leak. It's as dry as a bone." Asshole.

Ok, I'm really pissed off about the boots thing. I've been told by many people that Timberland work boots (not the fucking fancy ass ghetto shit) are some of the best boots out there. I caved in and bought a pair cause my last set of boots were falling apart. My feet were getting wet before I was even 2" into the water...hadn't even gotten to the laces yet.

Yeah, I'm fucking pissed.

Gonna be kinda hard to now since we all know it's leaking like hell. I'll be sure to do that when I move the next time.

Thankfully all the important shit is up off the floor. I've been working on a sub box but I have a pallet down here that everything is sitting on. Almost all of our boxes of stuff are up on shelves and not on the floor, which is good. There's one whole area of the basement with stuff on the floor (including my grandparent's china) but that whole area is dry.

I want to shoot someone.

Get a pair of Matterhorns. Best boots ever.

Or a pair of standard issue military boots.

Seeing as how I just bought these boots a few weeks ago, it's gonna be about 2 years before I think about replacing them. I'll wear boots or shoes til they're falling apart, then I'll start thinking about getting new ones.

I have a pair of full leather military issue boots. They aren't comfortable for constant wear though. I have to take them off after about 10 hours. Last pair of boots I had I got in the military - Bates Enforcers. Steel toe, similar to jungle boots with the canvas, but didn't look the same. I abused them for 5 or 6 years and they finally started coming apart in the past 6 months. They were comfortable as hell though. I could put them on at 8am and not take them off til after midnight and I was fine.

My socks weren't completely soaked earlier. Bottom of them were wet and the toes were wet. Still kinda pissed about that though, but I was standing in 2-3" deep water for 1/2 hour.

Ugg, I wouldn't wear boots that weren't waterproof at least up to the laces.

Matterhorns are the best all-arond, everyone I talked into getting a pair or already had a pair was extremely happy. I've had mine for almost 10 years, and need to get them re-soled. I obviously don't wear them constantly -- only did for 2 or 3 years back in HS -- but they can still polish up good as new.

I have two pairs of standard issue boots. I think they're quite comfortable, much better than Matterhorns in the summer because they're not insulated.

Ooooh, that sucks.........know the feeling on the wet basement tho....

Since I own my house -- I have to try to fix mine. Our basements are the same tho. I've spent the past year off & on covering the holes, etc with hydraulic waterproof patch & where it's not wet just with mortar mix. Then painted it with waterproof paint..... Some water busted thru in the front last nite where I just applied mortar, so I've got to put hydraulic patch on.......

Someone is going to fucking DIE.

3/4 of the basement has water in it. I pulled up all the power strips from behind the computer desk yesterday so they wouldn't get wet, but did have a space heater on the floor underneath of it. Luckily that's ok.

There's 4" of water in the deepest part of the basement. Woke up not too long ago and put the pump back in (bitch next door left it sitting outside so I grabbed it). Woudl've left it running last night but she was using it and you can't run them dry anyway.

I'm in a bad fuckin mood already.

 

[Buddy_Christ]

Every 30-40 minutes I'm plugging the pump in to get water out or it starts working it's way deeper across the basement. I was going to start the cleanup today but it's pointless as water is probably going to be seeping in for the next 2 days.

Fucking christ I'm pissed off.

i got these boots from LLbean that the tongue is completleyc onnected to the shoe all the way up to the top, so the only way for water to get in is from the tvery top of the shoe.

good fuckin boots- but they look a bit gay

It is cave like. It's also a disaster area, shit everywhere. I'm not really a neat person, I prefer living in disorganized chaos.
