Idea Session 001

I agree with  Don, NO, Stink.

Seems the forum consensus is running about 50/50, half no, the other half hell no.  Personally, floods scare me.  Nowhere to go once the water comes up, certainly has the potential to destroy your life, all your work, dreams and possessions in an afternoon.   Many people lose their lives in floodwaters every year.  No thanks. 

Maybe some fresh images of what a flood does to homes will help you.  You could always google Ike or Iowa or Catrina or Mississippi floods, or likely any of dozens of rivers that do it every single year.   Maybe hearing about some high water rescues might help, or seeing what a clump of flooded fireants looks like, or the snake swarms in floodwaters.  No thanks for me. 

Theres lots of great places out there still, dont give up on finding another quaint bungalow so fast

I simply have too many memories of nights spent filling, moving & stacking sandbags, sometimes to enjoy eventual success and sometimes to wallow in defeat, to ever want to voluntarily step into the maw.

It's one thing to feel sorry for the poor lady stuck with the flooded home.  It's something else to be that lady.

I talked to Stink on the phone and she goes "There's only 4 feet of flooding... and the neighbors are really nice!"
I told her she wasn't exactly convincing me.

We're trying to help, Hog, but it gets rough sometimes...

the floods are bad enough but now you have the potential for the dangerous types of mold that can grow sight unseen-NO!!!

[StinkerBell]

Ok, so the title of this thread should read..."Bad Idea"


I new it was a bad idea. I really did, I just needed to hear it from others.

Found another home in a different area, hopefully it not in a flood zone either.

Good girl, Stink, good girl... pat, pat, pat ...

[StinkerBell]

I don't think you guys would lie to me. Tease me, torture me, make fun of me, yes. But lie about a house, NEVER!

[glenn kangiser]

You got it, Stink --- it's that love thing all over again...
