Water Damage... An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of Cure // The Homestead #23

Rain gutters, Sump pumps, well pumps, and more water things.
Grading property and making sure water runs where it is supposed to is an extremely important to protect your home from water damage. So much so that a jimmy rigged rain gutter caused the majority of a major crack in the cement wall in the stairwell to the cellar. In this episode I jimmy rig that jimmy rig, I make a rube Goldberg machine to divert water instead of just simply cleaning the gutter for some reason. I then re arrange the sump pump and much more.
