There's a hole in my wall, Dear Liza

There's a hole in my (foundation) wall, dear Liza
There's a hole in my wall, Dear Liza, a hole
Then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry
Then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, then fix it!

There's water coming from the hole, dear Liza, dear Liza,
There's water coming from the hole, dear Liza, dear Liza,
Then plug it, dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then plug it, dear Henry, dear Henry, then plug it!

With what shall I plug it dear Liza, dear Liza,
With what shall I plug it dear Liza, with what?
With hydraulic cement, dear Henry, dear Henry,
With hydraulic cement, dear Henry, with cement!

There's an electrical panel in the way, dear Liza, dear Liza
There's an electrical panel in the way, dear Liza, dear Lisa
Then move the panel dear Henry, dear Henry,
Then move the panel dear Henry, then move it!

..and on an on...

So.. work on the basement has resumed. As I mentioned in my last post, the combination of unusual amounts of rain, and frozen group, led to flash flooding, and a veritable lake in our back yard. Bad news as it results in some water in the basement, good news, that I found out now before I got any further. It was quite a chore to loosen up and shift our main electrical panel to get at the hole. But I did. I cleared out the joke of a plug that was there, filled it with some good hydraulic cement, and also waterproofed the surrounding area.

The panel is now back in place, we had another TON of rain, and half our back yard is a pond. And the basement is bone dry. I've got the radiant heaters reinstalled, and I've got the first section of framing done. Its been a whirlwind of progress this weekend. With some good fortune, and some time, there's a remote chance I could have the majority of the framing done by the end of then next weekend. We'll see how things go.

Peace!
