SIGH MOAN GROAN

 Freezer room wall at corners of window

Bucket room wall..looked like a joint but actually in middle of slab.


Hubby just fixed the sump pump so at least that is done. Good news we caught it , bad news is the freaking cost. Including it has to be tied into a tile, which is within 10 ft (that was good news) BUT they will have to dig under the wall of the ramp which means more repairs to that.

Had first estimate yesterday. Get second one tomorrow. Because it's poured cement it's going to cost more to fix. Also the windows are not casement windows and can't be opened so we are having them replaced at the same time. 

All said and done, could end up being around $30,000 and 3-5 days of work.
Our insurance guy said to take before and after pictures so he can document the repair.

Money that was going to go on mortgage to pay house off early, is now going on repair. Our finance guy moved some things around in our funds  to come up with some of it. I have enough in CD's that will mature in early July to pay the rest. MOAN. GROAN. SIGH.

I whined to the kids... one asked if we were going to sell the house over it... I was kind of that would be stupid especially with houses NOT selling due to cost of loans. Three thought better us than them. One came back with ,cut the rest of the budget and make up the amount in next 2 years. Divide it out and keep on budget. THEN sighed and stated I just came out of her mouth when she was talking of buying a house. LOL.

Mean time I am going to start a fall garden.  I need to harvest tonight as the rain will be coming in for the next day or two. 

May all of you be safe and well
Blessed Be
