At the back of the house is a small extension, which used to be used as a summer kitchen. There was a wood burning cooker at the back, and a sink. The cooker also used to heat water in a tall tank. However, at some point the water to the kitchen was cut off. Having done some investigations, it seems that the waste pipe is also blocked. A little more research also revealed a large body of water in the foundations of the kitchen. We've had four days of very heavy rain, and we've seen a lot of it end up in our basement, and this body of water under the summer kitchen seems to be the source. We've begun pumping the water out of the foundation and we'll see what happens there. The floor in the kitchen is very solid, and bringing that up to work underneath is going to be difficult. The next few days will be interesting.
In other news, the electrician should be coming back tomorrow and help us start work on the electrics in the nursery. I imagine he'll disconnect the old power, and show me how to install the ring necessary for the lights in there, and the one or two sockets we'll end up with.
