Redneck Moments...Sometimes they're the most creative.


Raise your hand if you know Studmuffin is creative!

Yes. That is a car battery you see in that picture. Yes. It is in my bathroom.


Yes, that is a sump pump you see in my bathtub. Yes. That is pvc pipe attached to said sump pump.


Yes. That is a garden hose attached to the pvc which is attached to the sump pump which is in turn attached to the car battery. On the floor of my bathroom. Oh, and yes. Those are buckets and a mixing bowl you see for scooping in the lower left corner. I won't be using these as much in the next few days.


No. It didn't stop raining. Well, it did. The sun is out today. And supposedly again tomorrow. Rain is returning Sunday.

Yes. That is the garden hose, which is strung from the bathroom to the front door to drain the bathtub water. All of which result in me carrying approximately 20 fewer buckets of water per day. Now that is something to celebrate!

Yes. My husband is pretty stinkin' handy to have around.

I guess I'll keep him and all his redneck ways...

That is clever. Too bad you don't have a window over the tub. That would be even easier.

WOW! I'M IMPRESSED! Not because I didn't think Studmuffin was incapable of such ingenious-ness, but because that whole invention thing is just cool! WAY TO GO!
