I guess I should have listened
TheWife has been on me since spring to waterproof the basement. It is not like I have been neglecting it. Our basement is quite packed, and getting to the walls in each section is a project in and of itself.
So, I have been working on it, but it is far from done. Now of course, here comes Ernesto. Certainly not a huge deal as it is already nothing but a Tropical Storm and will likely be nothing more than a tropical depression (or less) by the time it reaches this area, but with the promise of between 2 and 6 inches of rain (could they be any more vague), I will certainly not hear the end of it if we start to take on some water.
Overall I am quite lucky. We live on the top of a hill, in an area that is at virtually zero risk of flooding. But water damage is water damage. Especially when your wife has been harping on you to get this project done all year.

Hang on to your hats - battening down the hatches and putting away all the backyard toys (sheesh, do we really ALL these wiffle balls?) - and good luck, Latte Man!
A flooded basement, ahh the memories…furniture on blocks, the roar of fans and shop vacs, the cranky, surly spouse…
Better be proactive and move the old photos up higher.
I swear by pallets. We had everything on pallets in NH, and I can’t tell you how much I loved the pallets.
But don’t tell your wife that I am simply advocating elevating the mess. Then again, I hate to clean anything out!
GOODLUCK! hope your basement stays dry!
Take care!
Hmmm…
You know the saying: If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
It’s true, my friend.
