I Have Water!
Posted by Shannon Buck on July 27, 2009
Last weekend, while I was away on my mini vacation, my stepfather came over and fixed my pipe issue. Apparently, it had something to do with something that the previous owners did. The cost was next to nothing to fix this.
While my stepfather was doing his part, the landlords helper was installing a new water shut-off valve under my trailer. This didn’t cost me anything. If anything else goes wrong, I do not have to wait for someone to come and turn the water off.
This was all after my insurance agent had a talk with the insurance adjuster.
I came home from my vacation to running water, which I hadn’t had in almost 4 weeks. I showered and caught up on laundry.
On Monday, I received a check for just over $400.00, now in the bank. My stepfather will determine if I need a new liner and new insulation, and how much of it I will need. He can install this himself.
This weekend, my daughter is home from UB washing her laundry.

Glad to read that you now have water!!! I can’t believe that you lived without it for 4 weeks…I can’t even imagine not having it for 4 hours!!! Your step-father is such a blessing to you! Janel in NJ

Yes, he is. He will soon be doing some other work for me here. I knew this was a fixer-upper, but didn’t expect some of what has gone wrong. Next he has to replace the flooring at the front dor, as well as the window/wall beneath it/floor in front of it in the small bedroom. Both issues were pre-existing when I purchased the place.
He has already re-done the two end bedrooms. Mom, the girls and I have helped with whatever we could. We are learning a lot of useful skills.
