Waterworld, part 3

[cathyr19355]

I was in the basement just now, attempting to get the several gallons of water absorbed by my throw rugs *out* of the throw rugs, when I noticed that the floor way, way beyond the rug was wet! Horrors! Could this mean the water had encroached even farther than I thought?

It could have, but it didn't. Closer inspection shows that when the wet-dry vac I have is sucking water out of a rug, instead of slurping up actual puddles, it throws a spray of water *out the back vent*. The harder I was scrubbing the rug, the more I was sprinkling the tile behind me.

Whimper....

On the bright side, it means that you can't have basement leaks because, hey, no basement. On the other hand, it means less room in your house, unless you build a house with a bigger footprint (though in Austin you can do that; there's plenty of real estate).
