Well, the house is on a big island in the middle of the Ohio river. The river tends to flood every once in a while, but my house only gets water in the basement.

There is a sump in the basement but it looks like it hasn't worked in 10 years or so. New one will work well.

Heres the deal, I bought the house from an auction at an absolute steal!!!
I plan on fixing it up as a project and living in it. The house needs a lot of work, plumbing electricial, hvac, drywall, etc.

I am an HVAC guy, so the lawn question was outta my league, thats why I asked.
I agree with you pushkins, but if I could have gotten away with it, I would have used a few gallons of gasoline and a match but I think the fire dept across the street would have something to say about that.

The house is located in a nice part of town. The block has about 7 houses that are 100k+, and I bought mine for a fraction of that! There was a petition that was going to be circulated around to raze the house if no one fixed it up.

as far as the yard goes, I think I will go with the tiller and such. thanks for the advice!

"till" next time...
