Good news on the basement

Well, the waterproofing guy (Jim Ariena) I talked to today says we probably just have to take off the crappy insulation on the basement walls which is acting as a sponge for the water. Then the basement should dry out and the water go into the sump pump the way it's supposed to. Yay, we can do that ourselves! He said if it doesn't work, then there's other things that can be done, but to try this first.

Ian had a better day at school today, after being miserable and uncooperative yesterday. He also had a very good playdate with Sam at their house. He had gotten up early this morning, so I was a little worried that he would be in a mood, but he did OK. Of course, he was totally done by bedtime, but hopefully he will sleep tonight.
