When it rains it pours

[jorgeinmiami]

Let me see what has happened in the last month or so that has me going bonkers

I need a new roof ...with all the rain here last week I find 6 leaks all around the house so I need a new roof, no sense patching up all the different places only to find more leaks. Estimates are 12K

My son blew the head gasket on my wife's BMW ..only $2000 to fix.

The AC unit at my Keys home is done..... only $3000 to replace and that was with getting a killer deal from one of my clients on the equipment.

The AC unit on my daughters rental property is done and needs replacing she just paid the taxes and insurance so she's broke and guess who????? another $2200.

Had to fix a leak in the bathroom that was leaking from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor in her the rental unit I have not gotten the bill on that one yet estimate $500

My explorer is running like crap needs to get a mechanic to see it who knows?????

So I guess that all my plans for the Seacraft are on hold till I win a small lottery.

So when it rains it pours!!!!!!

have you received the letter from your insurance company yet?
you know the one that says effective jan 1, 2014 your policy will no longer be available...if you fail to find a new one by dec 15 we will enroll you in a similar plan that will cost you 50% more...
hope your covered by your employer...obamacare is a mess from where i stand

explorer should be an easy fix. not too much goes wrong on the 4.6l engine it has.

Good luck George,
You're not alone that's for sure.

My septic system is shot,and a new one is going to run anywhere from 7,000 to 12,000 ,By the time everyone gets their slice of the pie.

My boiler is on the way out,and a new system is going to cost about 5,000.

I had to replace a large portion of rotted sills on the house this past summer,did it myself,but still cost 1,000.

Two months back,all the injectors on one bank of my Ford F150 5.4 crapped out,they were covered by a revamped warranty from Ford but the plugs were fouled and had to be replaced,they broke four of them in the heads, another 800.00 bucks down the drain.

Had to put a new roof on the house did that myself as well,so I saved a lot of money,but the material was 2,000.

It just never ends,it's always something now the driveway is looking like it needs at least some partial replacement.
The back porch is slowly falling apart and needs replacement,more money to be spent on that.

I've been wanting to get myself another Seacraft in a ctr console design like a 20' just to fool around with in the salt,but I don't see that happening with all the money that's being diverted to the repairs and projects that never seem to end.

I shudder to even think of what will happen if my employer decides to drop our health insurance.

OBAMA CARE? I'd slit my wrists before I'd ever sign up for that turds tax program disguised as health care.

I just want one more year so I can take my soc.sec.bennies and call it quits,maybe do a few things on the side,and finally get a chance to spend real time on a boat that I spent three years restoring.
I'm hoping that there actually is such a thing as re-incarnation,and hopefully,I come back as myself,so I can start on Seacraft collecting much earlier in my new life.LOL

Let's face it,the home projects never end,and the money never stops bleeding out.
Wealthy or poor, a little money or a lot of money,it's all relative,most everyone ends up being a member of the same club at some point.

"OBAMA CARE? I'd slit my wrists before I'd ever sign up for that turds tax program disguised as health care"

Tell us John how you really feel!!! I'm with ya!

We all better hope Obama gets all the young healthy folks to sign up and most importantly pay premiums versus the wimpy penalty, if they don't that's when the "turds tax program" will really raise it's ugly head for all of us!!!
