Need much more than a sump pump. You can hit water at 6 feet. You can
drill a working well at 10 to 30 feet. f a swimming pool is not filled
with water, it may float up out of the ground.

Rainfall is about 59 inches a year, close to what the UK gets, but it
has many more sunny days. It actually rains more days per year, but the
rain is brief and then the sun is out.

there's brief and then there is brief... I remember one brief afternoon
rainstorm at Highlands Hammock SP near Sebring when I thought I was
going to drown on supposed dry land.


We had 26" of rain in the week and a half before and during Irma.
That is over a year's worth of rain in more than half of the US.

A sump pump lowers the local water level below the floor of the basement, no problem.

Not really, all it does is try to hold back the tide against the
leakage rate of the basement wall. You still end up with a musty
basement. My sister had that at her house when building nearby changed
the water table and flooded their house. They ended up trenching the
basement floor and dropping the pump below floor level. They had a 1/2
HP pump that ran pretty much constantly if it rained that week. It
didn't really work at all until they piped it into the sewer system
since the same water just came right back.

You make a pit under the basement floor, which is suspended above the ground. Any water under there has to flow into the pit before contacting the floor, and probably seeps in without even reaching the surface.

It is all about what happens if the house is on fire and you wake up
in a room full of smoke. They don't want you to have to go towards the

fire is upstairs.

Well in my standard bedroom on the 1st (USA) or ground (UK) floor, I can still only get out of the door. The window only opens at the top. And anyone with a 2 storey house who sleeps upstairs has the same problem. Unless someone provided a ladder for you to climb down, you're ****ed.

Need much more than a sump pump. You can hit water at 6 feet. You can

Rainfall is about 59 inches a year, close to what the UK gets, but it

Furnace in the attic? Not up here. It's in the "basement" - generally

I am aware of the basement thing but a lot of them still have water
problems. You are right, a basement here is going to be an indoor
pool. You can dig a well with a post hole digger. It is just nasty
water.
Most of those "bedrooms" are illegal since they don't have proper
egress. The "window well" in a basement does not provide enough clear
space to call that an egress so you need a door to the outside in the
bedroom(s)..

What's wrong with going through the door you entered? My normal bedroom has a window, but it's only the top bit that opens, so I can't leave through it without violently smashing toughened double glazing with a heavy object I don't have in the bedroom. But then I'm not a pessimist and don't require two forms of exit.

It is all about what happens if the house is on fire and you wake up
in a room full of smoke. They don't want you to have to go towards the
fire. You certainly don't want to be trapped in the basement if the
fire is upstairs.

Well in my standard bedroom on the 1st (USA) or ground (UK) floor, I can still only get out of the door. The window only opens at the top. And anyone with a 2 storey house who sleeps upstairs has the same problem. Unless someone provided a ladder for you to climb down, you're ****ed.

They sell the hell out of these

I don't know anyone in the UK with one of those. Maybe Americans are stupid, sorry stoopid, and set more fire in their own homes?

Maybe they are just easier to scare.


Mabee they just value their lives more and think beyond the end of
their noses???

That's called pessimism.

Fire truck will have a ladder. If the fire is forcing me out though,
I'd jump and risk a broken leg rather than burn to death.

The two front windows on my house exit to a porch roof, and the
window at the end of the hall exits to the garage roof which joins the
porch roof, where it is only a 9 foot drop to the ground, or to the
back of the garage where it is about 11 feet.
The main floor has 3 exits - front porch, rear deck, and through
garage. The basement exit is via stairs directly to the garage door.
If therer was a garage fire spread into the house and I was in the
basement "my goose may be cooked". There is a functioning smoke alarm
at the top of the basement stairs, as well as in the basement, the
living room of the main floor, and at the top of the stairway to the
upstairs, as well as CO detectors on each floor (2 in the basement)

Severe pessimist.

The people that write the building code are pessimists. If the fire is
right outside your bedroom you need a second way out.

Which people don't have in non-basements anyway, as most fit burglar proof windows you can't fit through.


I don't know what kind of hellhole you live in, but we've just got ordinary
double-hung glass windows. Mine are only double-pane, but I don't consider
my house is very expensive to heat so there's no incentive to replace them
with more energy-efficient windows.

Sump pumps work wonders.

And I though Florida was dry?


Need much more than a sump pump. You can hit water at 6 feet. You can
drill a working well at 10 to 30 feet. f a swimming pool is not filled
with water, it may float up out of the ground.

Rainfall is about 59 inches a year, close to what the UK gets, but it
has many more sunny days. It actually rains more days per year, but the
rain is brief and then the sun is out.

there's brief and then there is brief... I remember one brief afternoon
rainstorm at Highlands Hammock SP near Sebring when I thought I was
going to drown on supposed dry land.

Just go to Lakeland for Sun'n Fun airshow - usually get lots of
"liquid sunshine" and you consider it a good year if your tent doesn't
float and you don't get stuck in the mud.

The exception is the odd year when it's so dry car exhausts start the
entire grass parking area on fire.( 2006)

I figured out when I was about 10 that if you hang from the window
sill and drop the fall is not that far. I used to do it a lot.

Then your dad sees the footprints on the window/sill.

I think I'd take my chances putting out the fire first. By the time I was sure I wanted to jump, I'd be unconscious with smoke. I don't want to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

Most folks can drop 2 or 3 meters without having anything bad happen
to them, particularly if you know how to land.

Even in a panic, in the dark, in smoke?

Either you know how to land or you don't. Most falls are not expected
and if your landing is instinctive, you get to walk away from most of
them. The trick is knowing how to turn a fall into a jump.
My old roomie was a Recon Marine and we used to practice this all the

It spreads the energy across various points of the body so no one of
them takes a serious hit. Once you understand the technique you can
roll in just about any direction from just about any fall.
It looks pretty cool when you do it too, especially when you are over

We cut a door into our bedroom wall here but in my old house in
Maryland I installed sprinklers in the egress route. It was one of
those "split foyer" houses where the stairs between floors was a choke
point and the utilities were under those stairs. I installed
sprinklers under the foyer in the utility room, in the foyer and in
the hall on both floors leading to there from the bedrooms.
A fireman I know told me a few horror stories and I had to act. The
scary thing is this was the most popular house design around for years
up there. It probably still is.
http://gfretwell.com/ftp/72house.jpg
I had to fight to get a door in the lower level. Most did not have one
making this "one way out" from down stairs, up that staircase. They
ended up regrading the back yard and giving me my door as a condition
of the purchase. I am not even sure how that got out of plan review.

Heck, I knew Alabama was holding Florida's head above water. ^_^

I went looking for that mountain peak before GPS's were around, never
could find it. There are a lot of little hills in that part of Alabama
and Florida. It's someplace around Florala. I do believe I've walked up
Cheaha. At least the Talledegas are real mountains.
Britton Hill in Walton County is the "high point" - up in the
panhandle. Down in the peninsula its around Lake Wales -"Sugarloaf
Mountain" at about 312 feet. About the diffference in elevation
between the Freeport Bridge at the west end of Kitchener Cedar Hill, a
few miles to the North East.

Our local little ski hill, Chicopee, has a greater vertical drop than
the total hight above sea level of Britton Hill!!!

The highest point in Lee County is the landfill. It used to be Mound
Key, the Calusa Indian landfill 500 years ago.

The only falls I've had a serious injury from are colliding with a brick wall while on a trolley going down a hill, and colliding with a large stupid bloke who didn't look before crossing the road in front of my bicycle. Neither of those situations allows for a controlled landing.
