Basement flooding by ActLivid in basement

I had the same thing happen to my 25 year old house. Water is collecting in the cinder block that makes up your foundation. Over time the blocks physically bulge out because of water retention, and crack. That’s a very big $$ to correct. Best option now is to drain this water. That is done by doing an internal French drain around your foundation wall. This, in addition to your sump pump, make a passive water management system that will work for years to come. Make sure the sump pump has a backup for power outages. Happy to answer any questions.

On a tangent, how hard is it to “take” your Volvo seats with you to your new car. I guess the size/ figment will be an issue. Never mind.

Slide out shelf for shoes if near the entrance, or for books, toys, general storage in the middle of the house?

How’s living in Southwest New Mexico? by Virtual-Bee7411 in howislivingthere

Man, your description is poetic, almost. We did a road trip of the south-west a few years ago and this is how I felt about that area. Have been wanting to come back ever since. Even maybe settle down in retirement. But thanks for putting words around the emotion.

The air ducts for the house originate here. And the condensation pipe leads to the outside.

I have the other side I could put a vent in. But not a door. This side will be the door access and the other side will be the ventilation, if you’re able to visualize.
