Grinding

One thing that we’ve yet to fully address/fix is the fact that our cement floor doesn’t quite lead water to the french well. When water collects down here, it routes directly towards the basement door… and we’ve gotten more water/flooding ever since we set this area up.

To try to combat that, Liz has been trying to grind the floor down a bit more. And get the concrete to divert water away from the house.

It’s been a lot of work (and dust). And so far, it hasn’t been overly effective. But we’re still trying.

Liz, post grinding. Relaxing with a dram, and covered in more than a little cement dust.
