Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time with this weather. So far we're enjoying it here in Chicago. Hopefully the snow we got doesn't go away tonight, I want to get some sled hill snowboarding in.

I am with you on this too Corey. I hate when it warms up and rains. Our basement was just starting to dry out and the sump pump was only kicking on every 10 minutes or so...now it's back to kicking on every minute or so. At least the water is being controlled and is not in the living space!

A new business venture at the worst time(economically)... but sometimes you have to try...

Mainly a van and truck upfitting business, but will do what ever to make cash in the beggining..
