Fingers crossed here, the water is about a foot short, in height, of the kitchen, and 1.5 feet short of the house, the only bad spot is the door to the inside water tank (????) where the wash machine is, I just put a plastic sheet on the floor and up the wall/door with sandbags on it, no way water can get in.
I had a close shave with a humongous Centipede moving plant pots to do the job....????
