Rainstorm

I was at the house this morning for the counter top installation and it turns out I had had a couple of inches in the basement from last night's storm. Demoralizing as hell. It turns out that one pump was unplugged (!) and the other one had failed at some point -- it just made a constant whirring sound like it was cycling, though no water was being pumped out. Plus I suspect that some of the water came from the empty house next door.
