Keystone State Thread

I actually have a rainwater cistern tank that I could have filled if shit really hits the fan. A lot of these older homes in my area have the same setup. People were eco-friendly before it was cool. Really nice for washing the vehicles and watering plants

Erm, what...

 

HA

Didja know in some states collecting rainwater is illegal? Oregon certainly, but I think other areas also criminalized it. Their reasoning is the rain belongs to the community and to streams and whatnot, so storing up 100 gallons, etc, will kill all the fish or whatever. I don't buy it..but yeah.

 

That's bizarre and sounds like a left coast thing.

I'm screwed though, I probly have a 1,000 or 2,000 gallon tank

 

As you can see, around here there's plenty of rain water to go around for everybody and everything... and then some.

 

Happy TUESDAY EVERYONE ….. hoping to load my excavator use her this weekend at camp / side note my truck was talking to me on the way home from work it’s pissed at me …it’s been like 3 weeks and we haven’t been to camp and that BS. She wants some mud on her underside

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians and Othertuckystatians!!!

 

Good morning PA. It looks like it's wet all over. The weatherman just said we've received 3.71 inches so far in the Pittsburgh area with another 1 -1 1/2 coming between now and Friday. It looks like it's going to be a miserable day for the Pirates' home owner on Friday. Stay dry and safe.

 

Good morning all.

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Good morning. I guess it's time to trade it in.

 

Morning everybody! Having lots of flooding here in central PA - sump pumps around here must be at a pretty high duty cycle. Bunch of roads are closed. Thankful I live on a hill!

Anybody have water in their basement yet?

 

PA peeps/wannabes/raindrop dodgers. April sure is coming in in style! We're fortunate in that we only get water in the basement in the most dire of circumstances, which means we have one spot that has started to seep a wee bit. We're keeping an eye on things though because the rain isn't supposed to stop for another day. Ugh!

 

Traded mine well before that. I think it had 96k on it

 

I am in western PA and I do, but I always have with the clay ground and no french drain. I have a sump pump and it is working hard.

 

Same , small trickle in basement and lower garage. Think I need a new dehumidifier. They don't seem to last very long for me. Maybe I'm impatient, but I don't think I hear the compressor running just the fan.

 

Aaannnnddddd we're running on the generator.

 

Well my daughter in law just texted me and asked if I have any hydraulic cement ! Game room leaking!

 

best of luck, leaking wall in the basement is the worst, hydraulic cement only works until the next higher leaking point develops, good luck!
