The seal around the sump pump as it goes out through the outer wall! But there is also a problem with the staircase to the basement, which is what the building inspector has a problem with. :blink:

The builder has been back in again today. Inspector coming back Monday. At the moment we have no water - fingers crossed it stays that way. :o

We are in the process of finishing it, which we cant do with water in ther! :curse: I have my mum coming 3rd March, with nowhere to sleep at the moment! :ohmy: I will need a stiff drink then!!!!!! :eek:

Sorry already half way there; sold the car and some furniture to nice expats, coming from Jersey! :whatchutalkingabout One family in, us out, alas, so I admit defeat, so I'll have a few big drinks with you now, before we leave this big white country. :cry_smile:

So far I have had a Strawberry Vodka Absolute, Rose wine and I'm just considering a nice big vodka coke, now we are back "home" (I use the term loosely, as it is unreal!) :sad_smile:

Glad to hear you had a happy day :cake: Hope your little one had lots of fun :wink_smile:

Cheers
