when it rains it pours …

Just a quick post – I didn’t forget to put up my Christmas decorations – we just sprung a leak. Several leaks.  So the tree is not up, the sunroom is in the living room, and the bathroom and dining room are all disheveled …. oh well, at least I hadn’t decorated the tree – we always put it right where the biggest leak is!  (I never thought I would need to write “the biggest leak”!)  This was all of a sudden.  We are getting estimates, but so far the lowest is around $14,000.  Yes.  $14,000.   And two weeks before Christmas.

  2. Just a combination of multiple layers of roof, and the last one - done 6 months before we bought the house - not being done properly. What can we do, right?

  4. OMG, that is awful...14,000 dollars!
    And I thought a root canal in Dec for 1200 was bad!
