Lessons learned? Challenges?

learned about any and all drainage issues or potential ones, oaklandon does not have a drain in the small town! well nowhere I could find. this home is older than most around so it sits lower than most creating a natural funnel towards my property, which has turned my yard into a swimming pool. Water is now getting into the crawl! its going to be ongoing learning experience here on out! so any and all RE projects can go south fast so always leave room in your budget for incidentals.
