Fuck we've broken EVERY part of a Pelican case. Hell, just Fedex it once.

Matt, I hate to say it, but you'll have to rip the walls apart. I spent two years in one house chasing a leak. I finally ripped the walls apart and there it was, a leaky door footer and surface tension was carrying water all the way down to the other side of the house. You have to be careful with water as often the source of the leak is not where it is the wettest.

I get what you are saying, but the water shouldn't be pooling against the foundation in the first place. 2 years were fine, then it all went to hell. I have a fully finished basement with cabinetry in one part. Besides, sealing the inside is just going to hold the water in the walls longer and rot the walls.

Just finally read the prior page and see Peng doesn't need epoxy, more of a talk in theory.

My vote is get a competent person to look at it for you to find that basement leak, finding said competent person though isn't easy. Water finds the funniest places to seep through. We have a moist room that is 73*F and 100% RH at all times, basically a fog room. To get the leaks to stop we let it dry for two months, lined the whole damn thing with FRP, caulked the hell out of stuff, and put stainless flashing going from wall to the floor and the floor is epoxy coated. Haven't had a drop outside of those walls for 3 years now.

Yeah.... hard to do to my basement. :-)

I know how to find a leak and patch it. I repaired whole basement this spring. Just never dealt with run off like this. The foam noodle and sealing over it along the driveway and then maybe having it grade away from the house will be my first step. What is the best product to use in that joint and how cold can it be when I put it in??

I am "lucky" that it is comming from only one area inside. The carpet soaks it up fast though. Fucking renting a rug doctor every other weak is a bitch.

Damnit, wives birthday is in 8 days and I need to get her a phone. Not sure which color S3 she'd prefer and there are only white ones used on Swappa atm.

*for Verizon as I had planned on doing the pagepluscellular

As her if you get her some type of device what color she would prefer.

MegaHeavyBass, that is it, better memory than I.  

 

My memory is very weird.  

I remember all the silly details but I went to the gym today and I forgot to take my wallet to get some money from an ATM. And I forgot to take some from the ATM at work. I can't believe it  

White seems to be the fad for a bit of a time, a black phone isn't all that cool. To some  

White is popular. Mine is the bluish grey S3

I prefer white phones after owning multiple black phones.. Less fingerprints = awesome.

But black phones are very sexy though.

My S3 is invisible

And the Milestone has a TON of scratches, dings and even a gaping hole in a corner. Can't complain too much for $80. Battery lasts 2 days+

Mines similar  I just fail on names.  I can remember what some random item in the shop was used for 4 years ago, but what I did 2 days ago?  Shit.....

One of our professors has taken to Fed-Ex'ing a Storm case with a 50kip loadcell, indicator, and LVDT checker/micrometer stem assembly.  I'm waiting for it to come in with a hole through it.  It weighs 35lbs and he doesn't want to check it or carry on to planes.  

The case in question has never even left the building by the time they shattered the handle.

I'll guess your basement wall cracked and now letting water in, time to talk to some local contractor folks.

Sounds like putting the pond back in would be cheaper.  That had to have been a low point.

Definitely putting either a water feature back in, or one of those run off pockets with a pump.

The old cement pond/water feature actually had a slope towards the house. It did have black plastic to stop weeds though. So when I got water the first time I thought maybe that shitt plastic stopped it. So I used black rubber about 10feet out. Then water still came in. So I started looking. Well the old owner siliconed where the driveway hits the house. And looking at it right now the silicone is completely worthless. So maybe the rubber is pushing the water onto the driveway faster than previous years.

Going to have to be the last resort. If I can ensure no run off water can access the wall first, then that is what is going to happen. If it the water table rising, then it will have to be a whole basement remodel.

With insulated finished walls the cost and time of stripping the basement interior the time and money would be close to digging up the exterior to waterproof and not as effective.

This is either something we did when we took out the pond, or something that broke at the same time.

Found what looks like a possibly interesting project.
