[QUOTE="MaryMary, post: 165722, member: 3521"] Well, that answers [I]that[/I] question. :( (Thank you, Chuck! (y)) The neighbor's yard is higher than ours, and we have a couple low spots in the back yard. Once the ground is saturated, we get a puddle. If it rains more, one big puddle and two small ones. More rain makes one huge puddle. Even more rain, and we get a swamp, with 2-3" of water standing on the sidewalk. (I've seen my entire back yard with 3" of standing water.) I can't see us putting a berm and swale between the shed and the sidewalk. :ROFLMAO: My boyfriend hooks up a pump with garden hoses, runs the hose through the garage, and pumps the water out into the back alley. It's amusing to watch him wage war with the elements, and I [B]know[/B] he's enjoying himself. :rolleyes: He'll look out the window and yell, "The rain is winning!!" And [I]then[/I] he goes out and hooks up the [B]big[/B] pump!! I kept thinking [I]:unsure: maybe[/I] there was a better way. I guess there's not. [/QUOTE]
