    water leak?

    I see you mentioned you already have a sump pump. Where is the discharge going too? Most cities won't let you dump it in the sanitary sewer but many have a storm sewer at the street you can hook it up to, if not get it discharging as far away from the house as possible to keep from just cycling the water. One way we do it is to dig a big hole as far away on your lot as possble and trench the sump line to it, fill the hole with gravel to about a foot from the top, then put rosin paper on top of that, then top off with soil. Makes a french drain so to speak.

    water leak?

    A few things to check, make sure your gutters are running clear and you have extensions on your down spouts to get that water away from the foundation. Next make sure the grade of your land is sloping away from the foundation, may have to bring in some dirt if not and get the water running away from ya. If these small steps don't work I am afraid you are down to digging out around your foundation to the footing, putting a perimiter tile and stubbing it in under your basement floor so you can dig a sump pit and pump inside. Then backfill with plenty of gravel, a couple feet is preferred. then dirt the rest of the way up and grading the top away from the foundation. They also have a system they can put over the foundation before you backfill, like a membrane of sorts to water proof it. Unfortunately there is no quick fixes, nothing you can do from the inside will help much, once the water has made it that far into the house it hard to stop.
  7. Hey William, I would NOT use any radiator stop leak addatives. I had a buddy that had a radaitor repair place here in town for years and that fix in a can stuff is bad for your cooling systems. It makes it really difficult to repair after you put it in also, doesnt clean out. Take it to the repair guy, if he is anything like my buddy was you will have no problems with it later, you won't jar loose a good repair.

    opinions please

    We got online and ordered an extra butt for the muzzleloader we purchased for the kids, that we we could cut it down some to fit properly, then when they get older we still have the orignal to put back on when we need it.
  9. Ya know I have had different expiriences with the flat iron, had some that were great and some that were just terrible. Looks awful good there though! lol
  10. I played 18 last wednesday and 9 on friday!!!!!!! Felt great to get out again. Temps are back down now, be awhile before I get out again I am guessing.

    Vacation!!!!

    Going to pack, off to the fabulous Las Vegas for 4 days!! Wish me luck lol. I got a great idea, red or black? I will check back in from my phone in a day or two see what the favorite is and throw a little money down on it!! Have a great weekend everyone!
  15. I usually go every year, but the wife and I are heading out to Vegas Saturday morning so I guess we will miss it this year. I didn't know it was this weekend. Steve D. will be there I am sure, seems like I run into him at almost all the sport shows here lol
  16. still got til the end of the month, its not over yet
  17. Not long to go now! Think we might have it wrapped up guys!:toot::toot::toot:
  18. I guess my question would be.... Do you eat Mountain loin, coyote, fox, and prairie dog? Is it unethical to hunt those species and not eat them? What would be the difference? While I agree with you that I find it offense for someone to waist good venison, what someone does with their game is really their business.
  19. :stupid: People worry about what other people are doing way too much these days!
  20. Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun in Kansas City is not a bad deal, pretty good package deals and closer to home for you. Spend a day or two riding rides and a day or two at the water park. They have places to stay on site I think.
