And The Saga Continues

I told you to "stay tuned". Ok, here's the scoop:

Today I have not one, but 2 contractors/plumbers in my home.

After living with this nightmare of a home for three years now we have found yet another problem ...that has been here for years I might add....and am having my kitchen sink area torn up. You see, it seems that the cast iron drain pipe rotted out years ago and all of our water from the sink and dishwasher has been spilling out onto the ground causing us problems with drain flies and stench......water in the heating ducts, etc.... This has probably been our main problem all along and it just took us time to narrow it down.

I still cannot believe that the previous owners lied to us about this. They did not disclose this problem.....but admitted it to my husband on the phone. Yes, we had it inspected, but he let us down too. We sought compensation, but even our legal counsel let us down.

We have had to take out another loan.....

I am not happy.

You see, before we sold our previous home we re-sided it, put on a new roof, painted it all on the inside, put down new carpet everywhere, put in a new kitchen sink and counter and fixed a step. Why? Because in our good conscience we did not want someone else to have to deal with our problems.

Is this the world we live in now? I hope not, but I am so discouraged. And I am angry.

The good news is that hopefully after dealing with this mess since we moved in 3 years we might actually be done with living with drain flies and the terrible smell....not to mention any health issues that went with this.

The moral of this story is to not trust anyone.....and talk to the neighbors before you buy a house......

I hope this will encourage those of you who read this to treat others the way you want to be treated. The Lord gave us the Golden Rule......some people call it karma......to some it is just common sense. If what goes around comes around....I want to warn the previous owners to BEWARE!!!
