We are at the point where they will be insulating the house next week. So framed up, dried in, and roughed = done deal. Separate battery backup and additional spare pump is good. External pumps and drywells aren't good in freeze/thaw climates though. When you have a lot of water, there are best practices for basement foundations. I would bet none of these were done and the builder isn't even aware of them. Examples of better: - solid pipe, not corrugated - drain tile cleanouts - proper geotextile wrap and gravel all the way up the wall - covering the asphaltic damproofing with waterproof membrane and dimple mat - interior footing drain tile with other underslab pipes - bentonite or neoprene footing key and slab seals - non-retail bought pump and/or multiple sump pits sized for the measured gpm - optional water-powered backup sump pump or generator - grading and downspouts addressed Not to alarm you, but a critical point is do the footings have the proper bearing soil. Even if their trash pumps could remove enough water temporarily to pour the concrete, what was the condition of the soil and who ok'd it?

If you're looking for a simple and affordable option for your guest apartment, a Roku TV could be a good choice. Roku is a device that allows you to stream content from various services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and many others. Some Roku TVs come with Roku built-in, so you don't need to buy a separate device. To watch NBC, PBS, and other over-the-air channels, you'll need an antenna. Rabbit ears are still a thing, and they can work well in an apartment building, although the reception may vary depending on your location and the amount of interference from other signals. To set up the TV and antenna, you'll need to connect the TV to the antenna using a coaxial cable. You'll also need to scan for channels on the TV to find the ones you want to watch. This process is usually straightforward and can be done using the TV remote. If you want to watch Steelers games, you'll need to find out which network is broadcasting the game and make sure that network is available over-the-air in your area. Some games are only available on cable or satellite, so you may need to find an alternative option if that's the case. In terms of ease of use, a Roku TV is a good choice because it has a simple interface and can be controlled using a remote or a smartphone app. You can also add and remove channels easily, so your parents can customize their viewing experience. Overall, a Roku TV with an antenna could be a good choice for your guest apartment if you want an affordable and easy-to-use option for your parents to watch their favorite shows and channels.

Tor. Vet, I couldn't get into Ted Lasso at all, even though it's wildly popular. Also the thriller You, which again is popular. I started watching Night Agent, and it's very good. An FBI drama. I bounce around, watching several. Ginny and Georgia, The White Lotus, Poker Face, and of course Yellowstone and many others. A love story (not Hallmark love story) is From Scratch. It's quite good set in the US and in Italy.

" Nothing thus far says her story should have been glorified with a movie..... " Huh? Here is a small sample of WONDERFUL books and movies that come to mind immediately that are based on murder or other serious crimes committed by important characters: The Godfather In Cold Blood Chinatown Killers of the Flower Moon Silence of the Lambs Psycho Let's not forget the work of the English writer of filthy trash whose stories often have murders, like: Macbeth Othello Julius Caesar Hamlet King Lear and many others. Edit to add: Whether one agrees or not (I don't particularly), there have been many people over the last 70+ years who sincerely believed that individuals from military, political, and scientific circles who contributed to the development of the atomic bomb that killed several hundred thousand civilians were guilty of murder. So to have a complete list, the movie Oppenheimer should also be on the list of filth. A movie many speculate will win Best Picture.
