Pump it up

I bought a pump today to pump the leftover rain water out of the cellar. The normal pumps didn't seem like they would do it. The help at this particular hardware store was clueless and had no ideas. A guy standing next to me said which pump I could use (it pumps down to 1mm).

Eventually I got the pump going. Went off to the promised land (McDonalds) as promised to the little one.

In the afternoon, I left the little one at the neighbors and went to check on my pump. It was off but a good quantity of water had been pumped out. I set it up again and went home.
