Judging by pre-existing water damage in other parts of the structure, this is a seasonal thing which I feel should have been disclosed to me before I moved in, and I have someone coming up this evening to address it. I expect to install 2 tiers of curtain drains, one outdoors, up-grade from the structure, to intercept overland flow from seasonal high water coming off the nearby river, and another in the below-grade attached woodshed that cuts off flow out of the drystone foundation before it may enter the living area. I'm also going to pick up some hay bales and take care of the driveway washing out at the same time, lol... what a fucking hassle... good thing us Yankees are a hardy bunch and can handle a little icy cold river water in our living rooms!
I just realized why LL Bean makes those duck-shoes- you know, the low cut version of their Maine hunting boot? Those aren't meant for outdoors like everyone thinks... THEY'RE SLIPPERS! hahahaha
I could certainly use some 'Southern engineerin' though, lol!
Gimme a sec and I'll get back to the plants, already!
