Update:
Cracks have appeared in random places. We decided that the house is unsafe to stay in, for now. The fraternity house has been evaporated!
No shit. Whatever gave you that idea?
re-reads post
“For now??!” :eek:
Evaporated! Awesome!!!
So… was there a lot of steam rolling around when that house evaporated?
Yes, and it won’t be safe until we have someone look at it.
Sorry, sometimes my spell check goes crazy. “Evacuated”
You waited a week and a half to leave the building? The mind boggles.
No pics and the only mention of damage is “cracks.” Riiiight. Nothing about the thousands of gallons of displaced water. And they are simply walking away. Riiiiight. :rolleyes:
Don’t believe a word of this. It didn’t happen and we just got played, people.
Yeah there was some water in the basement. Most of it drained though. But a small flood in a basement is totally secondary to a freaking hole in the fraternity house!
There’s no way in he’ll I would post pictures. The wrong person might see it.
The beer ran out.
The only way the OP could have been better is if it had been concluded with, “My friend wants to know.”
Where did the water drain to? Do you have a drain/sump pump in the basement or did it go thru a crack in the basement floor, possibly undermining what the foundation is sitting on?
Is it possible for you stand at the front door or one of the windows such that you can take a picture of the interior w/o any identifying details, like the greek letters of your fraternity that are probably hanging on at least one wall?
What’s the plan for all of the guys that were planning on living there as the fall semester should be starting any day now?
It’s a helluva good story but most of us think it’s just that, a story. Give us a pic or a link to a news story & we’ll be much more sympathetic in helping you out.
Right. Because flooded basements drain “through” and “small” basement floods are no big deal and “totally secondary”. Right. :rolleyes:
You are lying and a lying liar and IMHO all your posts are complete lies.
Seriously, am I the only person in the world with a drain in their basement floor? I’m not saying the story’s real, but that the water drained ain’t the suspicious part.
Tru dat…
…but I missed this part. It wasn’t like I was a lone skeptical voice saying, “great story, but definitely fiction.” If there was any real point of contention, it was about whether it was all that great a story. But the consensus was nearly unanimous about the ‘fiction’ part.
Even those people giving advice were more ‘on the off-chance that it’s real,’ or ‘the OP would have done most of these things already if he weren’t BSing us’ than ‘the OP needs my advice, stat.’
Guys, seriously, let’s be respectful.
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Why? You’re an adult who’s setting a really shitty example for the college kids who you’re “advising”.
Nickel, a question, if you please. Who actually owns this house? Is it the college, or your fraternity chapter? Who is going to pay for the repairs?
Uh, no. It won’t be safe until the proper repairs are made.
The most respectful possible option is that it’s fiction…
How old are you?
