Praise the Lord for His good timing! We returned from Ohio and I was going over the accumulated mail, checking emails, etc, and Cheryl decided to take a bath--but had no hot water. I went down into the basement to check out why--and found 8" of water. The sump pump had stopped working. I sent Cheryl to get a new pump (hoping that some place would be open on New Year's day) and called Michael to help me bail. We got ahead of the water rising, and Cheryl found a pump. A couple of hours later, all was pumped out and this morning the hot water heater fired up. The water didn't quite reach the furnace or quite reach the pedestal motor on the sump (though there were bubbles coming from the pump). Praise the Lord!
