For a while, we have had a hole in our yard in front of our house. Uncle Boo dug it and put all the dirt in two huge piles in our yard on tarps. Uncle Boo and Dad also broke up the sidewalk and took it to be recycled. Now that it rained, we have two mountains of mud and a wheelbarrow full of water in our yard. We're hoping that soon we can fix the hole. Luckily, we have already sealed the side of the house before it started raining. Besides dirt, Uncle Boo also dug up some boards and a couple very old Coke bottles. They must be very old because they were way down there.

We get to walk across a drawbridge to get in the front door. Mary W. suggested we fill the moat up with water and some fish. Then it would be like living in a castle full of princesses.
Did this put an end to your basement flooding? I sure hope so! I like the moat idea. :)
