For some reason, I don't think this flooding problem in NJ is going to get any better in the near future. Let us all know if you guys need a hand with anything.

This is the reason there is no basement underground. This is the first time since 1974 that flood insurance will be used for this house, so it's not usually a problem.
We will most likely be moving out in the near future. We were going to wait until next year when we could use the wedding money and such to put a downpayment and have some time to finish our projects to increase the value of the house. However, this plan has changed for various reasons I won't go into to detail here (obviously the flood is a motivating factor, but that isn't the whole story and no need to get into it here). So hopefully by the end of the year we'll be out. Especially if I get and take this job I'm interviewing for next week
