Re: [MBZ] Small world - Benz Edition
Make sure all your gutters are unblocked and that the downspouts divert rainwater away from the foundation! Then regrade with the plastic sheets. We did this for our leak DC house and it solved all problems - cheaper and quieter than a noisy sump pump.

Can you explain the basement trick? Ours leaks a bit, I've been planning to dig around it and lay plastic sheets, also to resculpt the landscape to help the water run away.More insulation would be a plus too.

yes. Several times I didn't rush on a big project, but let the ideas simmer, and in the end, the product was significantly better than the original plan.

Re: [MBZ] Small world - Benz Edition
That is the plan. Hide under a pineapple for a while and fetch a tan. Employment in Alaska has finally gotten just a bit better. The market has been in recession for at least the past three years. The labor numbers came back and there was a bump upward in April. Now, the price of oil is sliding. The local benz dealer is always prowling for fresh meat for service desk. I would be hard pressed to speak well of the new breed of cars on the sales floor. clay > On Jun 7, 2019, at 12:25 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 07/06/2019 1:45 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: >> Amen.

I think you nailed it for some of us, Grant. I’ve always got to have “something to do”, which translates into a projects or projects.
