In one of my post I went off my ex wife. Yeah she treats me like shit and I do try to avoid her at all cost. If some one is going to treat you with out respect, why should you even give them the time of day. There is only one problem with that attitude. I have two kids by her, while they are both grown up there will be situations where I will have to deal with her in the future. The thing is when she asked me for money I would have gave it to her if I had it. Right now I don't. With the price of gas now almost three fifty a gallon it seems it is taking every spare dime I have just to drive back and forth to work. On top of that I have some serious issues concerning my house that I have to deal with. The kind of issues that could very well turn in to major projects. My personal finances at this time are such that I can not afford to have any more payments.
I actually have three problems with my house that I have recently discovered. The first problem I have a drain pipe under my kitchen that I think might be busted. Normally this might not be a problem to fix. Just go to home depot and spend a few dollars on parts and glue and crawl under there and splice things up. The problem is I have almost no room to crawl under the house. The second problem is I have a water valve that is leaking pretty bad and needs to be replaced. The third problem my sewer is running slow. I have talked to a plumber about these problems and each time I talk to him the price keeps going up. It has gone up from an initial bid of six to eight hundred dollars to twenty three hundred dollars. I have decided to not let the plumber handle it and to attempt to make the repairs my self. I know that sounds scary to some people but I have dealt with this kind of work in the past myself. If I could afford it I would rather hire some one else to do it for me but when I don't have the money I am not left with any other choice.
Wsih me luck in this project
