House flooded!

[Kin Hell]

Is your property on a slightly higher level than your neighbor?

Just by a few inches at the most.. maybe one brick worth. The row of 8 houses were built on a gradual slope, with the private road running down hill to a drain at the bottom of the road. So they are all slightly lower than the last as they go down the road, with ours being the 3rd from the bottom. The house to our other side, which we are not connected, is quite a bit higher though, maybe 3 bricks worth, and they didn't flood.

Wooha!!

Just read this! Hope everything is ok Dave, and your getting through it!! Ive been living in a tent since end of June after splitting from my wife and I only found a room 3 weeks ago and moved.

I can tell you it wasn't nice sleeping in a tent with all that rain. And I ended up with a chest infection for 2 months! So you were good in getting out early into somewhere dry!

I thought so. Technically, you were on the higher ground of the flood & are most likely, .....least affected by it. Hence why your house was renovated first. I expect the damage to houses below you will get worse further away from yours....
Anyways, we're just really pleased to hear you are all back home now, especially so soon after becoming a Dad for the first time.

You mentioned elsewhere about being flooded again H.
