here's a fun fact . .
New Zealand has roughly the same surface area as the state of Colorado. Also, New Zealand has an estimated population of just over 4.5 million people which is comparable to the state population of Louisiana. Imagine taking Louisiana’s population and swapping them with Colorado’s population (not a huge difference). Colorado would then become the ‘New Zealand’ of America!
However, looking at New Zealand on a map can be deceiving because the island country stretches out north to south. If you were to lay New Zealand over the United States, it would stretch from Florida to Pennsylvania along the east coast. That’s a long stretch of land! (Take a look at the picture below for a visual.)

Yup!!
Isn’t it great?
You are living in an overpopulated area and I live in a small idyllic island tucked away at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, only 900,000 people in the South Island.... yeeeeeehaaaa!

:laugh: I've been out shoveling twice in the last week...and I mean SHOVELING!!

The bikes are safely tucked away in my storage unit and you know what that means??? MORE SHOVELING so the door doesn't freeze shut and also so that my neighbors doors don't freeze shut. When that ice thaws, water comes under the wall and you got yourself a wet storage unit. I plan to shovel a lot this winter.

...and yeah, I really did drink all of those NOS energy drinks. I'm saving the cans to make an interesting bike photo backdrop someday.

We had 4 inches of rain and our basement flooded. Up most of the night and all day throwing out carpet and cleaning up water. I don't think it will be covered by insurance. We don't have flood insurance because we do not live in a flood zone.

Sucks man!!!! You have some nice stuff in the basement too. I can relate, when I was married we had water come in every spring when the snow melted. Thank God for that Palmer valve because the neighborhood sewage backed up at the same time if you were unlucky enough to not have one of those....infact, the other side of the street seemed to back up palmer valve or not.

I'd look into the landscaping if this is your first year in the new house. You can do a lot with grading the yard next to the house foundation just a little bit. Also the sidewalks---could need some mudjacking which you could do the same thing yourself if you lift and throw dirt under. Otherwise----it's sump pump time. Costly but effective----as long as you have somewhere to pump the excess to.

I don't even know where the water came in from yet be we do need a sump pump. It was roughed in for a bathroom which I did install a toilet and sink but last night put a drain where the bathtub would go. That help along with the old wet vac. I need to get a sump pump for sure. More rain tonight...

If you put in a sump pump, make sure you put in weeping tiles as well-that's the expense.
