Geesh, just had some plumbers over yesterday. Found two leaks, one in the bathroom in grandma's room, and one in the main water line outside. We have to get a carpenter in here in the morning to redo the flooring in the bathroom since the previous tenants thought it would be funny to jerry-rig the entire plumbing system, thus rotting the floor under the toilet out. On top of that we needed a new shutoff valve, plus we had to buy a new commode. All of this is going to cost upwards of $1500-2000. We live barely above the poverty line... this was the last thing we needed. How are we going to afford all of this?
Argh!
2 grand isn't too bad. Really. I would suggest your gran take out a small loan at the bank, as a last resort. Maybe your parents, aunts & uncles could chip in and cover a good bit of it. And there's the matter of your contribution... Do you have anything that you don't need that you can sell or pawn?
