Mmmmm? Guessing... 1940's??? :G:

Actually, the origin of our problem is that the house way pre-dates the drains - dunno when they were put in (I'm guessing 1880's or so?) but the house was built in 1836. The house sits on the bedrock, so when all the public health acts came into play and drains had to be put in - and there's just no room for them between the surface and solid rock. They sit *right* (two inches!!!) under the york paving out back and that's the root of practically all our drainage troubles. We actually had a spring rise in the kitchen once :G:

Lord! Good luck and good thing you're insured that sounds expensive.
Our house, one of the oldest in the neighborhood was built in 1964 right after the earthquake.I forgot to add that too.Sheesh I need a nap already.
I think I'll go play in the dirt.

Man! The oldest house in your neighbourhood is younger than me??? O: Way to make a person feel very, very old!
The oldest house in our neighbourhood was built in 1516 But we're a long way from the nearest earthquake zone. :G:

Younger than me too.The oldest house in our area is somewhat older, Probably 1940's.
The russians didn't get here till 1741,so no permanent houses.Yep they don't call us The Last Frontier for nothing
The Earthquake(9.2) is one of the reasons for younger houses,almost a whole neighborhood fell into the Inlet.
The oldest house is still standing through it all and the oldest school too.
