lol...that was the worst I ever saw it after a storm..Our yard backs up to the greenway at McMullen Creek

I took those pics at 7:30 in the a/m...I walked outside to check on it b/c I knew it had rained/stormed all night..."holy f*cking sh*t" were the first words out of my mouth

the city has actually done some poo in and around it that has made it much better..I haven't seen the water come inside our fence in a long time

That was a terible storm....so many places got flooded. What usually was a 30 min. drive took me 2 hours to get home from work because so many roads were closed from Rocky River overflowing. Was like that for days and many homes in my neighborhodd got flooded up to the windows.

Sooooo, then Husker is right in saying "both" .....hmm..We're gonna need to hit a big scratch off

Yeah like myself and a few said, the best bet is doing both. With a creek so close there is more than likely multiple underwater springs. Remember with above ground water ways, there's 10x's more water below ground than what is visible above. Even if there wasn't visible seepage when your house was built that doesn't mean that some underground water hasn't changed course.

I know this is a VERY exciting subject..but...

Long story short...

we have water under our house..obviously, it's especially bad after it rains..in turn..it's causing scary bugs to find their way into my living room..besides bugs there are a lot of reasons you don't want water under your house...SOOO..the question is..Sump or French Drain??

Is doing one yourself easier (and my "yourself" I mean MrPF and Friends)..is it better to just pay someone to do it..anyone know of a specific company what would be good and affordable...Anyone wanna come do this for me???

I really want this done relatively soon..before it gets hot and gross outside..that's when it gets bad

do you have a full basement or a crawlspace?

build you a goddamn moat... it will serve multiple purposes...

1. it will allow you to have a moat around your house... which is pretty effing sweet...

2. it will allow you to have a "drawbridge" driveway, which is pretty effing sweet...

3. not only will it deter salesmen/religious door knockers, but it may prove useful should the zombie apocalypse occur...

4. water problems? lol...

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
