I bought a home a few years ago that had previously had water issues in the basement. There were some mitigation efforts and we were assured that these resolved the issues.

Against my better judgment I bought the home and recently had a major flood in the basement. The mental toll has me spiraling. I can’t afford all the things that need to be done to prevent this again.

Now I feel like this place is a ball and chain. Every time it rains my blood pressure skyrockets. I feel like I’ll never be able to sell this house let alone get my money back. I feel resigned and have grown to loathe this place and myself for being so naive.

For folks who’ve been impacted by this type of thing before does it get better? How have you been able to move on and recover? I feel like I’m forever tied to this place now and it’s taking mental toll.

Is riverside drive still closed because of the partial building collapse? I’m not finding anything on the Cincinnati website one way or another.

Anyone else get a flooded basement after those rains? Mine has a few inches of water in the unfinished basement. It went down the tile drain and now I need to figure out what to do.

Do I need a remediation company? I’m running a fan and dehumidifier and mopping thoroughly. I’ll toss any porous stuff it got on.

Please don’t crucify me for asking this. Can I just use straight up mid coffee for my daily pot? Think pre ground daily-driver bulk coffee.

My mochamaster is on the way. I’m thrilled because I love coffee more than most things. I drink maybe 7 cups a day between drip, French press and my beloved moka pot. I love exploring different local and regional roasters. The mochamaster will make these shine but I limit these brews to the weekend when I have time to sit with the coffee and enjoy it.

The weekday is very rushed and so we use standard middle of the road coffee for the morning brew. Is there any harm the machine by using this kind of bulk coffee? Going for efficiency not flavor here.
