Butch called the homeowner of the place next door and asked him to divert his sump pump water to another location, preferably the street and the storm drains. After learning that we could not go to our motorhome without wading in water he agreed and 20 minutes later his son showed up. Both father and son felt the need to discuss property lines etc. We ignored that part of the conversation because we have checked at the courthouse and we are within our boundaries and rights even though they do not believe it. I assume at some point in our lives a survey will be necessary. Anyway they extended the pipe from the sump pump and aimed it somewhat toward the street but not all the way. So then our front yard started flooding instead of the backyard! Finally Butch took pipe of our own and extended it to the street and it soon corrected the issue. I am assuming that we will need to monitor it each time it rains. The house is a rental and the renters do not give a rats patootie and the owner really doesn't either.
Still no Russ...but we keep hoping. Not yesterday...maybe today.
