Lost power at 10pm last night, restored this morning. With no power I had sump issues with it filling up every 30 minutes or so. Had to jury rig a battery powered sump pump so I could a little sleep. Used a bilge pump from one of my R/C warships, an 20AH tank battery, a float switch from a discarded sump pump, some wire and wire nuts. Used a 50' air hose to route the water to my slop sink. Worked great, the little wiper pump based R/C bilge pump pumped the sump down in 5 minutes each time. Will be upgrading this expedient to a more permanent design shortly.
Hope everyone else is OK. ST On Monday, October 29, 2012 4:54:16 PM UTC-4, Frank Pittelli wrote: > > The mega-storm named after my daughter has struck home.
